Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Illustrated by Arthur Rackham

Product Information

Carroll first met Alexander Macmillan, a high-powered London publisher, on 19 October 1863. [11] His firm, Macmillan Publishers, agreed to publish Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by sometime in 1864. [67] Carroll financed the initial print run, possibly because it gave him more editorial authority than other financing methods. [67] He managed publication details such as typesetting and engaged illustrators and translators. [68] The English composer Joseph Horovitz composed an Alice in Wonderland ballet commissioned by the London Festival Ballet in 1953. It was performed frequently in England and the US. [122] A ballet by Christopher Wheeldon and Nicholas Wright commissioned for The Royal Ballet entitled Alice's Adventures in Wonderland premiered in February 2011 at the Royal Opera House in London. [123] [124] The ballet was based on the novel Wheeldon grew up reading as a child and is generally faithful to the original story, although some critics claimed it may have been too faithful. [125] Gerald Barry's 2016 one-act opera, Alice's Adventures Under Ground, first staged in 2020 at the Royal Opera House, is a conflation of the two Alice books.

As the book and its sequel are Carroll's most widely recognised works, they have also inspired numerous live performances, including plays, operas, ballets, and traditional English pantomimes. These works range from fairly faithful adaptations to those that use the story as a basis for new works. Eva Le Gallienne's stage adaptation of the Alice books premiered on 12 December 1932 and ended its run in May 1933. [117] The production has been revived in New York in 1947 and 1982. A community theatre production of Alice was Olivia de Havilland's first foray onto the stage. [118] Gordon, Colin (1982). Beyond the Looking Glass: Reflections of Alice and Her Family.

Gorgeously illustrated,this 150th anniversary edition of Helen Oxenbury's1999 award-winning rendition of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is full of warmth and humor. The whole approach is contemporary and accessible. Alice herself is a child of today, casually dressed, personable and spirited.In Helen Oxenbury's hands, the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland is a wondrous place indeed. He began his career making illustrations for magazines such as Good Housekeeping, The New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar. While most contemporary readers of Alice see little more than a childrens story, Victorian adults may have had a much different experience. Well known for his caricatures in Punch, a popular political magazine, Tenniel satirised political leaders and events. In fact, many scholars claim Alice characters are reminiscent of Tenniel's Punch drawings.Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift (Colour F/P, 11 line 1900, reworked edition 12 colour plates, 34 line, 1909)

In 1990 Monica Edingerlearnedduring a seminar of the many artists who illustrated the book that she designed a new language arts unit for her fourth graders"The Many Faces of Alice." Mathematics and logic are central to Alice. [50] As Carroll was a mathematician at Christ Church, it has been suggested that there are many references and mathematical concepts in both this story and Through the Looking-Glass. [51] [52] Literary scholar Melanie Bayley asserts in the New Scientist magazine that Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland in its final form as a satire of mid-19th century mathematics.
