Julia Eccleshare's comment:
The first colour illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s classic story are stunningly reproduced in this edition. The Nursery Alice was adapted by Lewis Carroll himself to make a shorter and simpler version than the original for much younger readers. To the text were added some new colour illustrations which are shown here for the very first time. The result is a beautiful book, which reflects the period in which it was written while also showing why both the story and the illustrations have had such a lasting impact and retain such an important place in the history of children’s books.

About The Author
Lewis Carroll, a pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was born on 27 January, 1832. He was educated at Richmond School in Yorkshire, Rugby School and Christ Church, Oxford.
From 1855 to 1881 Lewis Carroll was a mathematical lecturer at Oxford, where he was a somewhat eccentric and withdrawn character. He loved being with children and wrote many nonsense poems and books to entertain them. He died of bronchitis in his sister's home in Guildford on 14 July, 1898.
Lewis Carroll's most famous works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (published in 1865) and the sequel Alice Through the Looking-Glass, which contained the nonsense poem classic The Jabberwocky (published in 1872). He wrote these tales to entertain Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church.
