Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: Official 150th Anniversary Edition Unabridged Graphic Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511733007)

This is not the Alice of movies and TV, this is the genuine Alice of Lewis Carroll - but unlike you've seen her before. This black-and-white illustrated adaptation follows the original storyline as word-for-word as was possible, and is an engaging way to introduce children to the classics. Although Sir John Tenniel's Victorian woodcuts inspired the art (and his masterpieces were redrawn where available ... spot the differences!) art aficionados will easily see it wasn't he who fully illustrated this book ... but Glenn Diddit, and he did it in his own unique and whimsical style.

If you love the true story of Alice you will appreciate the accuracy; if you enjoy graphic novels this one is packed with visual goodies. Easter eggs include illustrated references to "Alice's Adventures Underground" (Lewis Carroll's original hand-drawn version of Alice), some "see-through" pages, "the other side" of the caterpillar, and other things put in to sneak past the reader without taking away from the story. Alice herself goes through a wringer of dream transformations that range from Tenniel's little girl to what could be described as a comically old, puffy-lipped dwarf. (No apologies are made for the silliness.)

This format enables today's visual age to enjoy an enduring classic, and the book was originally endorsed by the Lewis Carroll Society of North America as part of their 150th Anniversary celebration. The unique, fully illustrated format appeals to even the most reluctant reader while being a great addition for the true Alice's Adventures in Wonderland collector! Get yours, and discover the full story you've never been shown in movies or on TV.
