The Arthur Rackham's "Alice in Wonderland" remains one the most important illustrated editions of the twentieth century and the first one ever made in color. Far more evocative and detailed than the pasteboard models of John Tenniel, Alice’s first illustrator, Rackham’s "Alice" captures the new century, breaking with the traditional image that had restricted Carroll's character at her first appearance.

 The ethereal and evocative images that Rackham created further inspires the imagination to follow him through the rabbit hole into this compelling story.

The application is enriched by a full set of Arthur Rackham’s original plates in their original proportions and frames as they appeared in the 1907 first printed editions. You can move between two different ways of enjoying Rackham's work, the present and past, allowing you to explore the extraordinary work that this great illustrator used to bring Carroll's work to life.

Designed to be read for all ages this is a personal treasure that can be shared and savored again and again. Read it with any age you wish to share the magic of reading and this particularly powerful story with.
