Words can't describe the exquisite beauty of this artistic Alice interpretation. The work on the front and rear boards and the magnificent d/w and internal text, create a sumptuous cleverly designed literary, artistic treasure. The Bulgarian illustrator Iassen Ghiuselev is arguably the finest of modern children's book artists winning several awards and is a name for the future, even rivalling the great artists of the Golden Age such as Dulac, Robinson and of course Rackham. A wonderful gift or acquisition for any book lover.
