Illustrated by
Alison Jay.
Illustrations finished with a crackle varnish lend a folksy feel to this unabridged version of Carroll's classic fantasy. Full pages of art, smaller vignettes, and a generous number of double-page spreads appear throughout the book. While Jay's whimsical paintings tend to soft-pedal the story's surreal elements, this is a handsome edition nonetheless.
