“Oxenbury applies her finely honed instinct for a child’s perspective to create an Alice accessible to all ages. . . . An ideal first introduction to a lifelong favorite read.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)Welcome back to a Wonderland that is as astonishingly new as it is joyously familiar. Helen Oxenbury, one of the world’s most acclaimed illustrators, brings her special brand of magic to the Lewis Carroll classic in a handsome volume boasting more illustrations than any other edition – called a “masterpiece” by Parents’ Choice. Her Wonderland is exuberant, contemporary, and lovingly created, with all the warmth, depth of emotion, humor, and acute observations of people and animals for which the artist’s work is so highly regarded. An elegant, textured cover with flaps makes this a beautiful gift book.
None 06/21/2005 "Rarely is the word ‘masterpiece’ used in reviewing anything, but this unabridged edition of a classic definitely brings the word to mind, in hushed and reverent tones." ——– Publishers Weekly, starred review 11/01/1999 "…Oxenbury’s [ALICE] brims with the fun and frights of a visit to an amusement park. In perhaps her most ambitious work to date, Oxenbury applies her finely honed instinct for a child’s perspective to create an Alice accessible to all ages. An ideal first introduction to a lifelong favorite read." ——– New York Times Book Review, The 12/02/1999 "Altogether, the chill is gone from the appearance of a story that after all remains frightening in its upside-down, inside-out logic. If Helen Oxenbury has eased children’s way to the enduring fascination of Lewis Carroll’s text, then so much the better, and more power to her." ——– Book Page 01/01/2000 circ=800,000 "The volume is oversized, the typeface large and friendly, the margins generous. This beautiful book quietly takes Alice out of the inky hands of scholars and places her back in the hands of children, where she has always belonged."
