“This really is a collector’s hardback edition – the spine is about 4cm thick! – and it is a book you will treasure forever. A perfect Christmas gift!”Picture Book Perfect
“This is a treasure of a book, with a gold-foiled dust-jacket, classic endpapers, a yellow ribbon marker, and stunning illustrations (both black-and-white and full-color) on every page. There is even a full-color map of Wonderland depicting the key localities (including the White Rabbit’s House, The Queen of Hearts’ Croquet Lawn, and the Hatter’s House). Swipe through for a little peek inside. The forward by Chris Riddell discloses the huge influence that this classic book and John Tenniel’s illustrations had on his childhood, even inspiring him to become an illustrator of children’s books! He has achieved a remarkable feat in this new reimagining of Alice’s tale, and it is clear that much thought and love has gone into every detail. This new edition would make a wonderful gift for both little and big Alice fans, and is definitely one to treasure!”Little Library Owl
“...this reimagining is uniquely Riddell, and every bit as sumptuous as you would expect”The Bookseller, The Bookseller
“Chris Riddell joins the crowd of illustrators who have visualized Alice since John Tenniel. Whereas — to choose one notable predecessor — Helen Oxenbury made the text fresh and cozy, Riddell has reinstated its oddness with his glamorous, fantastical caricatures and super-skillful line. He has also made the Mad Hatter female”The Times and Syndicates, The Times and Syndicates
