The Most Beautiful "Alice"
Apart from the original illustrator, John Tenniel, Arthur Rackham's "Alice" is considered by some to be the most well-known. His striking illustrations are beautiful and perfectly fitful for a fairy tale of its kind. This book will have you staring at the pictures for hours, lost in its enchanting, dreamlike aura.

Rating: - New illustrations, same written classic.
I have always been a tremendous fan of Alice in Wonderland, but I wasn't too fond of Tenniel's artwork. Plus, the books I had found hadn't printed the illustrations very well (they were always dark and smudged). Then I found this edition of Lewis Carroll's classic, and I was extremely pleased! Rackham's artwork left me speechless. I adored the simple pen-and-ink illustrations to the full-page paintings. This is a splendid book to own if you enjoy the original story and want new illustrations to admire.

Rating: - Great Book
Alice in Wonderland is a great book that I truly enjoyed. I like how the author made something symbolize something else. For example, the rules of the game they were playing symbolized the actual rules of the land. Even though this book is intended for kids to read but I say it is a book for all ages.
