The story is timeless and can be read at so many different levels, but this lavish slipcased edition is quite simply stunning and will bring to the reader a very different Wonderland - even more fantastical and a little darker too.  The influence for the illustrative work was Walt Disney's 1951 animated film, a film that has left an indelible mark on Matthews.   It's a visual feast and a book that can be read by people of all ages; for children it’s a wonderful underworld fantasy that will develop a passion for reading, imaginative writing and for everyone else there’s innuendo, puzzling situations that require deciphering, political machinations and bucket loads of surrealism.  Plenty of food for thought and a real antidote to the modern world.

A message from John Cleese:

'Michaelangelo, Manet, Monet, Matisse, Munch, Modrian and Matthews.  All my favourite artists begin with an 'M'. And so, Rodney Matthews is generally acknowledged to be among the greatest artists that have ever lived.  Need I say more? Please buy this book, and all his other works, because then my immense collection of stuff will become even more valuable.  Especially when he dies.'

A message from the Author:

'I feel privileged to be asked to illustrate what must be one of the most original and well known stories ever written.  I can't compete with Rackham, still (in my view) the best Alice illustrator ever, or meet him head-on, but I've tried to suggest a wider visual arena for the story including a space scene and the Palace of Hearts (not mentioned by Carroll).  I also move between macro and telephoto, as one would do in the best of dreams! My approach is almost as if Lewis Carroll were writing today - I would jump at the chance of illustrating him.'
