This edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, originally published
in 1907, is fully illustrated in pen-and-ink, by the charming drawings
of Thomas Maybank. Hector Thomas Maybank Webb (1869 - 1929), was a
prolific artist, who aside from his literary illustrations, also
contributed to Punch Magazine, and the Daily Sketch. His drawings are
full of character and movement - bringing this classic tale to life in a
truly imaginative and exciting manner. 'Alice in Wonderland' is the best
known work of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898), better known by
his pen name, 'Lewis Carroll'. Telling the story 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. Pook Press
celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's
literature - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration
from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy
tales, children's stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated
artists, illustrators and authors.
