Among Walter Anderson''s best-loved books, An Alphabet and Robinson: The Pleasant History of an Unusual Cat are much admired by children and parents, and have long been given as special gifts emblazoned with Anderson''s unique art. In that vein and long in demand is this revived edition of Anderson’s Alice, which carries the renowned artist''s visual translation of Lewis Carroll''s classic story, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Anderson''s Alice, though, is no Victorian doll as she is in the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, Arthur Rackham, and elsewhere. Instead, Anderson represents Alice as an adventurer, capturing her spirit and her energy in bold lines. In Anderson''s Alice: Walter Anderson Illustrates “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” ninety-two pen-and-ink drawings accompany the complete text of Lewis Carroll''s original narrative. Anderson (1903–1965) drew them alone late at night as he recovered from an illness, and he considered them to be translations of words into visual images rather than illustrations. The story of Alice brought him comfort and inspiration, and he placed her wonderland close to his own homeland by localizing Alice''s environment with backgrounds featuring the kinds of wildflowers and crabs that are native to the Gulf Coast. Walter Anderson, often intensely private within his community of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, observed and wrote about nature and produced thousands of drawings and watercolors of the plant and animal life on the Mississippi Coast. These show his strangely beautiful style and a rich and unchecked imagination. With these artistic gifts, Anderson infuses new life into Lewis Carroll''s well-loved characters, who have delighted generations of children and adults.

Alice in Wonderland'' is the best known work of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898) – better known by his pen name, ''Lewis Carroll''. Telling the tale of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by surreal and anthropomorphic creatures, the book was a huge commercial success on its initial publication in 1865. It was followed by its sequel, ''Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There'', in 1871. The books play at the heart of logical problems and literary nonsense – giving the narrative lasting popularity with adults and children alike. The story is accompanied by dazzling, and full-colour, Margaret Tarrant illustrations.

She began her artistic career at the age of twenty, and published into the early 1950s.

Alice is a fictional character and protagonist of Lewis Carroll''s children''s novel Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871). A mid-Victorian era child, Alice unintentionally goes on an underground adventure after accidentally falling down a rabbit hole into Wonderland; in the sequel, she steps through a mirror into the Looking-Glass Land. Alice''s character has her origins in stories told by Carroll to entertain the Liddell sisters while rowing on the Isis with his friend Robinson Duckworth, and on subsequent rowing trips. Although she shares her name with Alice Liddell''s given name, it is controversial among scholars as to whether or not she can be identified as being strictly based upon Liddell. Carroll characterised her as "loving and gentle," "courteous to all," "trustful," and "wildly curious." His illustrations of her in Alice''s Adventures Under Ground, the first version of Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland are influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite artists
