Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Illustrated by Charles Robinson

It was followed by its sequel, 'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There’, in 1871. The books play at the heart of logical problems and literary nonsense – giving the narrative lasting popularity with adults and children alike. The stories are accompanied by a set of dazzling Charles Robinson illustrations. Charles Robinson (1870 – 1937). An active painter in his own right, and brother of the famous Thomas and William Heath Robinson, his illustrations still delight both young and old over a century later. Robinson started his illustrative career with 100 pen and ink drawings for 'A Child’s Garden of Verses’ (1895). The book was an instant hit, and from that point onwards, Robinson continued to illustrate fairy tales and children’s books – with his characteristic style of subtle line, combined with delicate watercolours. Appearing alongside the text, Robinson’s illustrations further refine and elucidate Lewis Carroll’s captivating storytelling.
