Green cloth ribbed boards with ornate blind-stamped decoration and ruled with mounted circular plate, black borders, spine titles and decoration, some corner wear, rub. Front board with mounted color plate by Margaret W. Tarrant: "Alice succeeded in getting her flamingo's body tucked away."

Edwardian artist, Margaret Tarrant, is regarded as one of the finest illustrators of children's books. She was a prolific illustrator and author best known for her imagery applied to myths and fables such as Alice in Wonderland and Andersen's fairy tales. Her artistic style is heavily fairy-tale orientated and often features motifs of mythical animals and beings. Tarrant's soft dreamy imagery are exemplified on the cover and the frontispiece in this volume. Lewis Carroll's classic begins on a boring summer afternoon when the bright and inquisitive Alice follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole. At the bottom, she finds herself immersed in a bizarre world full of strange creatures and bizarre goings-on. She tries pills and potions, and attends a very strange tea party and croquet match. An immensely witty mix of satire, puzzles, and drama and one of literature's most astute depictions of the experience of childhood.
