Lewis Carroll’s whimsical children’s novels have been culturally relevant for over 150 years. Their influence on children’s literature cannot be overstated. The protagonist, Alice, is still a pop culture icon depicted most often by John Tenniel’s original illustrations. This two-volume Special Edition contains those illustrations, expertly colored by Fritz Kredel. This edition also corresponded with the 1947 Broadway performance of Alice in Wonderland, starring Bambi Linn.
