I wrote to Macmillan to suggest a new idea a ' Nursery Edition' of Alice with pictures printed in Lewis Carroll's diary 15th February 1881 The Nursery Alice originally published by Macmillan & Co in 1890 was the very first colour edition of Alice It was intended wrote Carroll "to be read by Children aged from Nought to Five To be read? Nay not so! Say rather to be thumbed to be cooed over to be dogs'-eared to be rumpled to be kissed " With this new younger readership in mind Carroll rewrote Alice simplifying & abridging the original text while Tenniel redrew enlarged & coloured twenty of his iconic illustrations The resulting book is a delightfully engaging experience readers prompted to interact not only with the story but also with the images & even the physical book itself in a way that is thoroughly modern Gloriously reproduced for the anniversary year this edition retains the every word of the original The Nursery Alice & restores the exquisite delicacy of Tenniel's artwork
- lost in reproductions across the decades
- along with the delightful cover artwork by Emily Gertrude Thomson This gem of a book is the perfect introduction to Alice a delight for child & adult readers alike
