Invented to entertain Alice Liddell on boat-trips down the river
Thames in Oxford, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has become one
of the most famous and influential works of children’s literature
of all time. It is hard to imagine Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland without picturing the illustrations made by Sir John
Tenniel for the first edition of the story. Sir John Tenniel
(1820–1914) was the principal satirical cartoonist for Punch
magazine for over fifty years and much in demand as an illustrator
in Victorian Britain. At Lewis Carroll’s request, he illustrated
the first edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, published
by Macmillan in 1865. In 1889, he made coloured versions of the
drawings for The Nursery Alice, an adaptation of the story created
especially for 0-5 year-olds. Ten years later, Gertrude E. Thompson
modified Tenniel’s illustrations for a card entitled ‘The New
and Diverting Game of Alice in Wonderland’. These unforgettable
illustrations, including the Mad Hatter, the Mock Turtle and the
Queen of Hearts, among many others, are featured in these special
journals. Beautifully produced in hardback with lined paper,
coloured page edges, ribbon marker and printed endpapers, this
Alice in Wonderland journal is the perfect gift for Wonderland
fans.
