By Lewis Carroll Illustrated by Mervyn Peake Introduction by Will Self and Zadie Smith
Carroll's classic stories reunited with Peake's celebrated illustrations, restored to their original glory and for the first time in one paperback edition.
In the 1940s, Mervyn Peake was commissioned to produce a series of pen-and-ink drawings to accompany Lewis Carroll's classic works: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Peake produced such luminous images that Graham Greene later referred to him as "the first great artist since Tenniel to recast Alice in a contemporary mould." With introductions by modern literary masters Will Self and Zadie Smith, this beautifully designed and illustrated book is the perfect gift for anyone, adult or child.
