Description

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1910 edition), illustrated by Mabel Lucie Attwell, offers a charmingly whimsical and distinctly Edwardian reinterpretation of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale. Known for her rosy-cheeked, cherubic children and cozy, sentimental style, Attwell’s illustrations soften the surreal, sometimes unsettling absurdity of Wonderland into a gentler, nursery-friendly fantasy.

For Fans of This Edition, Try:

Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes (illus. Attwell) – More of her signature sugary charm.
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (illus. Arthur Rackham, 1906) – For a darker, more mystical take on childhood fantasy.
The Velveteen Rabbit (1922) – Another Edwardian-era tale blending whimsy and tenderness.
