Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Calla Editions)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Calla Editions) by Carroll, Lewis. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781606600146.

The "Alice" stories have always been a favorite topic for illustrators. Amongst the dozens of illustrated editions of Alice published over the years, Harry Rountrees contribution may be the most remarkable. Luxuriously illustrated with 92 watercolors, many of which are full page, with the others carefully placed with textual wraparound, this is a marvelous evocation of Carrolls madcap world. Rountrees career as an illustrator was short lived, but this, along with his Aesops Fables, are acknowledged masterpieces. The enduring popularity of all things Alice makes this both a timely and timeless Calla publication.
