Adventures of Alice in Wonderland - Illustrated by Thomas Maybank (ePub)

This edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, originally published in 1907, is fully illustrated in pen-and-ink, by the charming drawings of Thomas Maybank. Hector Thomas Maybank Webb (1869 - 1929), was a prolific artist, who aside from his literary illustrations, also contributed to Punch Magazine, and the Daily Sketch. His drawings are full of character and movement - bringing this classic tale to life in a truly imaginative and exciting manner. 'Alice in Wonderland' is the best known work of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832 - 1898), better known by his pen name, 'Lewis Carroll'. Telling the story 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. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's literature - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children's stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.
