...this reimagining is uniquely Riddell, and every bit as sumptuous as you would expect * The Bookseller * Chris Riddell joins the crowd of illustrators who have visualized Alice since John Tenniel. Whereas to choose one notable predecessor Helen Oxenbury made the text fresh and cozy, Riddell has reinstated its oddness with his glamorous, fantastical caricatures and super-skillful line. He has also made the Mad Hatter female * The Times * He has now taken on the big challenge: Alices Adventures in Wonderland. As with all his pictures of children, Alice is huge-eyed and delicate, but his cartoonists eye means he does a lovely Gryphon and Mock Turtle. This is quite a hefty hardback. * The Spectator * Riddell breathes new life into Alice, giving her a striking dark bob. A delicious new edition, with colour plates and pencil sketches by this remarkable artist. * Irish Independent * Many great artists have drawn Alice, but I think this sumptuous hardback and jacketed version by the ex-Waterstones Children's Laureate is my personal favorite. * Bath magazine and Bristol magazine * This really is a collectors hardback edition the spine is about 4cm thick! and it is a book you will treasure forever. A perfect Christmas gift! -- Picture Book Perfect This is a treasure of a book, with a gold-foiled dust-jacket, classic endpapers, a yellow ribbon marker, and stunning illustrations (both black-and-white and full-color) on every page. There is even a full-color map of Wonderland . . . This new edition would make a wonderful gift for both little and big Alice fans, and is definitely one to treasure! -- Little Library Owl Take Lewis Carrolls eternally enchanting classic tale of Alices Adventures In Wonderland, bring them to life with the unique illustrations of the talented Chris Riddell, and you have this years dream gift book for readers of every age. * Lancashire Evening Post *
