Minalina are the design studio behind the graphic props of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, founded by Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima. They have a shop/gallery on Greek Street in Soho, London, just next to the wonderful Bertaux which I’ve been visiting since I was a little girl, and was always so much better than Patisserie Valerie 😀

Genuinely amazing book- what I would have called pop-up, but now apparently ‘with interactive elements’.

From Harper Collins website:

The sixth book in a series of illustrated classics, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass gets reimagined in this deluxe gift edition featuring exciting new artwork and several interactive features from the award-winning design studio behind the graphics for the Harry Potter film franchise, MinaLima.

Originally published in 1865, Lewis Carroll’s exquisite story of Alice, an inquisitive heroine who falls through a rabbit hole and into a whimsical world has captured the hearts of readers young and old as a timeless masterpiece. Perhaps the most popular female character in English literature, Alice is accompanied on her journey of trials and tribulations by crazy characters such as the frantic White Rabbit, the hot-headed Queen of Hearts, the intriguing Mad Hatter and so much more.

Designed through the eyes of the talented design firm MinaLima, readers will fall in love with their imaginative drawings of literature’s most famous characters. Exclusive interactive features include:

-Alice with extendable legs and arms

-The rabbit’s house that opens to reveal a giant Alice

-The Cheshire cat with a pull tab that removes the cat and leaves the cat’s grin

-A flamingo croquet club that swings to hit the hedgehog

-Removable map of the Looking Glass world

This keepsake illustrated edition—the sixth book in Harper Design’s series of reimagined children’s classics—will be treasured by readers of all ages for generations to come.
