Alice Inspiration

Alice was created by British mathematician, photographer, and writer Lewis Carroll, inspired by the daughter of some friends. Carroll fantasized about taking the child to a parallel-reality world which he called "Wonderland". Alice has inspired movies, songs, video games, and all kinds of books. The book is a tribute to this fanciful girl and all the friends she meets along the way, including the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, and the Mad Hatter. Each character shines in their own right and reveals its unique personality in each encounter with Alice. Twenty-eight illustrators offer us a personal version of each character, revealing something more of their art and aesthetic. Have a happy, creative journey to wonderland.
