| Description: |
The satire and fantasy of Lewis Carroll's classic work is enhanced by Ralph Steadman's critically acclaimed, savage pen-and-ink illustrations in this re-issue to celebrate the 150th anniversary of original publication. |
| Synopsis: |
The irony and satire of Lewis Carroll's classic Alice in Wonderland acquires a new life with Ralph Steadman's audacious and dynamic illustrations. This book is a beautifully restored and meticulously reformatted edition of Steadman's 1968 work. The force of social satire and fantasy in the original text of Alice in Wonderland is as relevant today as when the book was first published in 1865. In this edition, Ralph Steadman's drawings remain faithful to the book's satirical tone while revealing his own passion for irony. Steadman's version of Carroll's classic tale is a startling departure from the traditional Victorian or Disney approaches. In his introduction, he describes how a fresh illustrative perspective created an original, modern vision. The story acquires new life with his audacious and dynamic illustrations. The 47 restored pen-and-ink illustrations are the same as in the critically acclaimed award-winning 1968 edition. They convey the energy, imagination and power of Steadman's pen and introduce the wit and wisdom of Alice to a new generation of readers. |
