Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
Illustrated by Tove Jansson.
ISBN: 0440000750 or 0440000696
Published by Delacorte Press. My copy- second printing, 1978. The illustrations in colour and in black and white are copyright 1966, same as me
Hardback with dustjacket.
Tove Jansson is, of course, best known for the Moomins, who are currently undergoing something of a revival. I suspect that’s partly why this book comes up quite expensive.
Jansson was born and died in Helsinki: 1914 and 2001. I’ll let you decide which date is which. She’s also illustrated the Snark, but I’ve yet to find that one.
You can see all the illustrations here. I love the use of the Lewis Chessmen as models for the King and Queen of Hearts.
Bought from Oxfam via Amazon for £40 or so. Still some copies on there: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
