xi, [1], 161, [1] pp. Yellow cloth, navy blue (black') titles with gilt motif on front board, Cheshire cat face on spine. Color plates by Arthur Rackham, with a proem by Austin Dobson. "The classic tale of that ever-curious little girl who tumbled down a rabbit hole into Wonderland has enchanted readers for nearly 140 years. Today, Alice and the eccentric creatures that she meets-the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter-continue to be among the most-loved characters in all literature. This edition, illustrated by beloved artist Arthur Rackham, is a sumptuous celebration of this timeless story. Painted with the dreamlike watercolors and subtle detail that brought Rackham international fame, the book's thirteen elegant full-color plates and fourteen black-and-white drawings make this a delightful keepsake for readers of all ages."
