Synopsis
Dame Vivienne Westwood has designed and introduced a special 150th anniversary edition of her favorite children's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
It seems a wonder such a pairing has not come about sooner. This special anniversary edition of Lewis Carroll’s tale fits in with the twisted take on Britishness that Dame Vivienne Westwood is famous for in a magical Wonderland setting. From her catwalk shows inspired by the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to her world famous twisted take on Britishness, Dame Vivienne Westwood has always seen the world through the looking glass. Now she has illustrated her favorite children's story by creating a unique front cover and end papers for this very special edition. Includes Through the Looking Glass and the original Tenniel illustrations.

About the Author
Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832—1898). He studied at Christ Church, Oxford University, and later became a mathematics lecturer there. He is the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. He was very fond of puzzles, and some readers have found mathematical jokes and codes hidden in his Alice books. Dame Vivienne Westwood is a British designer known for being one of the most recognized and influential designers of the late 20th century. Cutting edge but classic, her collections are unflinchingly rooted in her interests and beliefs, whether it is human rights or classical fiction. In 2007 she was awarded the gong for Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design at the British Fashion Awards.

"Precise, dream-like, subversive." —Quentin Blake, Independent on Sunday
"Without these two books in my childhood I doubt whether my imagination would have developed at all." —Kate Atkinson, author
