Lewis Carroll: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Gebunden

Klappentext

Tove Jansson's beautiful edition of a classic work of children's literature is once again available in North America. An elegant edition of a timeless classic illustrated by the creator of the Moomins in a dreamy, delicate, and playful style true to the whimsy and wonder of the story.

Described by The Times of London when first published in 1865 as "an excellent piece of nonsense," Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has gone on to become one of the most popular books ever written, loved by children and adults alike and translated into more than 125 languages.

In Tove Jansson, Carroll's classic finds an illustrator worthy of its enchantment and surreal beauty. Jansson is renowned worldwide for her hugely successful books about the inhabitants of Moomin Valley. What is less well known is that in 1966 she devoted her unique gifts to illustrating Alice's extraordinary adventures.

Nearly sixty years after her interpretation of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece was first enjoyed by Scandinavian readers, Tove Jansson's beautifully realized edition of the original text of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is finally available to an English-speaking audience.
