Alice in Wonderland. Gift Edition

The English writer and playwright, author of the world-famous trilogy "Gormenghast", Mervyn Peake was also an amazingly talented illustrator. He created illustrations for many books, including "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll, "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, which will be included in the series "Classics Illustrated by Mervyn Peake". The series opens with the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The illustrations for this book are considered Peake's best works: they embodied all the artist's skill and imagination. With light line drawings, full of subtle play of light and shadow, Mervyn Peake managed to convey the fantasy world created by Lewis Carroll with amazing accuracy. In this edition, the text is published in the classic translation by Nina Demurova.
