INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Carroll, Lewis

Alice in Wonderland

(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger. Despite some daunting expanses of unillustrated type, Zwerger invokes a surreal dreamland virtually devoid of background and details; yet its ambiance is so intensely realized that it inspires the reader's own imagination. The full-page paintings, especially, are exquisitely composed, with unexpected vantage points to give dynamic views of the events. Here's an Alice to use with young adults; like the book itself, these illustrations open doors to many levels of creative interpretation.
