Alice's Adventures Under Ground

by Lewis Carroll

Summary

Previously only available in facsimile form this edition of Lewis Carroll's predecessor to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the very first to be set in type as a single volume and the first to be published with drawings other than those by Carroll himself.

All new artwork by noted illustrator and former underground cartoonist, Kim Deitch, perfectly matches the spontaniety of Carroll's original. Using the image of the real Alice Liddell as a model is just one of the ingenious innovations Dietch brings to this lively edition of Alice's Adventure's Under Ground.

Mark Burstein, vice-president to the Lewis Carroll Society of North America and curator of one of the largest collections of Carroll books and memorabilia in the world, relates the historic importance of this book's revolutionary impact in expanding the horizons of children's literature.
