Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' is the best known work of Charles
Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898), better known by his pen name, 'Lewis
Carroll'. Telling the tale of a girl named Alice who falls down a
rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by surreal and
anthropomorphic creatures, the book was a huge commercial success on
its initial publication in 1865. It was followed by its sequel,
'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There', in 1871. The
books play at the heart of logical problems and literary nonsense –
giving the narrative lasting popularity with adults and children
alike. The stories are accompanied by a set of dazzling, full-colour,
Gertrude Kay illustrations; a true master of the 'Golden Age of
Illustration'. Kay (1884 - 1939), was a prolific children's
illustrator, whose many and varied sketches were always vibrant and
full of colour. She was particularly skilled at accurately and
sensitively portraying foreign cultures in her artwork, and also
produced many watercolour paintings - in conjunction with her book
illustrations. Appearing alongside the text, Kay's pictures further
refine and elucidate Lewis Carroll's captivating storytelling. This
book, 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - with Gertrude Kay
illustrations' forms part of our 'Pook Press' imprint, celebrating the
golden age of illustration in children's literature.
