Laszlo Matulay has based his big splashy colored pictures on the
traditional Tenniel drawings, but the text adaptation holds small
justification. The familiar rhythms and pattern of words which make
Alice a family possession through life have gone, and what is left
serves merely as transitional material connecting the favorite
poems which, thank goodness, have not been tampered with. Boards.
(Kirkus Reviews)
This edition contains Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its
sequel Through the Looking Glass. It is illustrated throughout by
Sir John Tenniel, whose drawings for the books add so much to the
enjoyment of them. Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the
Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White Rabbit all make their
appearances, and are now familiar figures in writing, conversation
and idiom. So too, are Carroll's delightful verses such as 'The
Walrus and the Carpenter' and the inspired jargon of that masterly
Wordsworthian parody, 'The Jabberwocky'.

Review This Product
A great affordable copy of both stories complete and unabridged

I received a copy with a different cover ( white with black text and children’s book style modern illustration) but it is still the 1993 publishing.
The inside is great - all the illustrations and formatting. Am really loving it - reading it as an adult is amazing!
