The
Children’s
Alice
This edition of Lewis Carroll’s masterpiece is confidently placed before the public, in spite of numerous competitors, because it is felt that it will supply a want. In many recent editions of “Alice in Wonderland” the true object of the book has been overlooked, for the illustrations in more than one instance have been rather above the heads, and the appreciation, of the youthful readers. Here is an edition, the coloured illustrations of which, while being truly artistic, will appeal more directly to the young folk. Here is a childlike and natural Alice and a new and jovial Gryphon, while the gorgeous liveries of the fish and frog footmen are emphasised by the new “direct” process by which the coloured pictures are reproduced.
The illuminated text is sure to appeal to children to whom a blank page of type is often uninviting, while the simple line drawings will be a source of endless amusement for the re-creation in the nursery drawing book, of types, scenes and characters from “Alice in Wonderland.”
