There's something about Alice - AS Byatt




With its unforgettable creatures, games with language and logic and ever-curious hero, Lewis Carroll's Wonderland is not only vivid but thrillingly different from other imagined worlds. In the week Tim Burton's film is released, AS Byatt takes another trip down the rabbit hole to celebrate classics she first enjoyed as a child

Copyright

Copyright on these images varies. It is best to assume that modern, living artists have full copyright on their work. I am using them under 'fair use' with, at least I try to, full acknowledgement and links to appropriate sites. I would advise others to always check if possible as artists (understandably) vary as to their tolerance of re-use of their works.

Mission

This blog features children's book illustrators - old and new. But I do go 'off topic' as I love other works that illustrate and illuminate fairy tales, myth and the world of fantasy.
