About this title

Synopsis:

Originally written for 'the real Alice', Alice Liddell, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" has become one of the world's best-loved children's classics. Although the story was written for a real child, Tenniel's original illustrations were quite different to the dark-haired Alice Liddell. Michael Foreman has now returned to the photographs taken by Lewis Carroll of the 'real' Alice, and created a wonderful imaginative progression of illustrations, moving from sepia-toned realistic images, to the vivid colours and magical landscapes of Wonderland. Michael's Alice is bold, curious, dark-haired and distinctive.In this book a world favourite children's classic is given a fresh new look. It is nominated for the Kate Greenaway award for illustration. It is suitable as a gift book to be enjoyed by families year after year. It is illustrated by award-winning Michael Foreman.
