Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass are both illustrated by Mervyn Peake, and both separate hardcover volumes are introduced by two powerful modern writers; Alice is introduced by Will Self, who has signed the book at the top of the first page of his introductory essay, and Zadie Smith introduces the Looking Glass volume.
