Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Robert Ingpen’s Alice feels like a dream you once had and half-remember still. His illustrations soften the strangeness, turning Carroll’s mad world into something quietly magical. Each picture seems to pause the story for a breath — just enough to let you look closer and find the wonder in the details.

Ingpen doesn’t copy Tenniel; he builds his own Wonderland, warmer, more nostalgic, as if seen through childhood memory. His Alice isn’t lost — she’s simply wandering, curious and brave, like a reader stepping into imagination itself.

A beautiful edition for those who still believe that books can take you places no rabbit hole could reach.
