Curiouser and curiouser! This gorgeous new edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland opens out into a carousel shape!
The book contains an abridged version of the original text by Lewis Carroll. When you open the book, you can fold it out and tie the covers to each other, to form a six sided carousel. Each side shows a 3-dimensional scene, created from John Tenniel’s original illustrations.

For my birthday, my brother-in-law gifted me this beautiful Alice in Wonderland lamp:
He designed and made it himself! It is made from a piece of wood, sturdy paper, and epoxy wax. It contains LED lights in different colors on the inside, that create a fairy-like 3D atmosphere when you turn it on.
Are you fond of Disney’s takes on the ‘Alice’ stories? Then you’ll certainly enjoy this heavily illustrated book by Mark Salisbury. It provides a ‘behind the scenes’ look, with photo’s and fun facts, for all of Walt Disney’s Alice in Wonderland related productions – from his ‘Alice comedies’ in the 1920’s, to his 1951 cartoon movie, to the more recently released live action movies directed by Tim Burton and James Bobin.
Disney Editions published this book in April 2016. I didn’t know it was coming out, or I’d have bought it sooner!
“Alice in Wonderland – an illustrated journey” by Mark Salisbury is a book about Walt Disney’s history with the Alice in Wonderland books. It starts with a short history of the books, and continues by telling us about how fond Walt Disney was of Carroll’s stories, how he strugled to start his own company, and how his career advanced.
After the succes of Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” movie, it was just a matter of Time before Disney produced a sequel: “Alice Through the Looking Glass”. This time, it was directed by James Bobin. I went to see it yesterday and… I was disappointed.
First of all, let me say that I didn’t enjoy the first “Alice in Wonderland” movie either. But because I didn’t want to be a prejudiced sour puss, I kept that in mind when I entered the cinema. I figured that, if I would anticipate a similar movie, just with a different story, I would be able to judge it for what it was.
However, the movie still managed to disappoint. It is not just that I am too much of a die-hard Carroll fan to appreciate this kind of movie; my non-Alice loving friends who joined me, were also disappointed because of the lack of a proper story.
Peter Harrington, a bookseller in London, recently published their new catalogue, containing lots of rare books by Lewis Carroll / Charles Dodgson. They are definitely not cheap, but if you’re interested, have a look before they are sold!
The catalogue includes amongst others editions of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, “Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there”, “The Nursery Alice” and facsimiles of “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground”.
There are English language editions, but also translations (like Nabokov’s Russian translation). Many are first or second editions, some are presentation copies.
