Dear Alice

How can one not fall in love with Alice in Wonderland.

Looking at A.A. Nash's illustrations above, makes me want to read Alice's adventures all over again.


Classical John Tenniel's illustrations, photos of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell ( the real Alice for whom the story was written) can be seen in Lenny's great Alice in wonderland site.



Following are some of my favorite pics from
Finsbry's Amazing 385 Alice in Wonderland illustrations.


May the enchantment work it's magic and get you to draw your own version of Alice's timeless tribulations in the land of wonder.

For more inspiration, have a look at:
Lauren's A to Z collection of Alice's illustrators.

I wish,wish,wish, I was in Baltimore this week to drop by the Enoch Pratt Library where 60 original works from Golden Book artists are on exhibit. Good news is: this Golden Books artwork Legacy tour is scheduled to tour around the states until 2012!

Thank you, thank you, thank you child at art for posting plenty of great pictures of this show!

Interested in renting this exhibit for your hometown? If that's the case then you can read the comments bredlo wrote on retro kid's discussion stream.
