Based on the beloved fantasy by Lewis Carroll, Salvador Dalí's rendition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland exceeds surrealist expectations. As the reader travels through Dalí's Wonderland, they are treated to a brilliantly colored illustration, giving insight into how the painter experienced Carroll's story. An unforgettable adaptation and a striking feat of book artistry. "On the surface, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a paradise of puns, paradoxes, and anthropomorphism. Underneath, it is a deeply honest portrayal of childhood and adulthood. What unites Carroll's wordplay and analytical anomalies with truth is Alice. She. fumbles through strange, increasingly grown up encounters, and remains honest and curious all the while. She is courageous in the act of growing up.Carroll's classic is an absurd yet magnificently perceptive form of entertainment unlike anything that came before or even after it" (Allen). Alice's impact was immediate. At a time when most children's books were highly didactic and focused on clear-cut morality, Wonderland offered something new and fantastical; it gave young readers an opportunity to be amused, to sort through logical puzzles, and to imagine a world unlike any other in literature. Thanks in part to Carroll, "children's books entered a new, more fantastical phase: instruction with delight" (Allen). Fine in Fine dust jacket.
