The Kate Greenaway Medal winner--now in paperback!
Welcome back to a Wonderland that is as astonishingly new as it is joyously familiar. Helen Oxenbury, one of the world's most acclaimed illustrators, brings her special brand of magic to the Lewis Carroll classic in a handsome volume boasting more illustrations than any other edition - called a "masterpiece" by Parents' Choice. Her Wonderland is exuberant, contemporary, and lovingly created, with all the warmth, depth of emotion, humor, and acute observations of people and animals for which the artist's work is so highly regarded. An elegant, textured cover with flaps makes this a beautiful gift book.
"Oxenbury applies her finely honed instinct for a child's perspective to create an Alice accessible to all ages. . . . An ideal first introduction to a lifelong favorite read." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
