About the Book

Tove Jansson's beautiful edition of a classic work of children’s literature is once again available in North America. An elegant edition of a timeless classic illustrated by the creator of the Moomins in a dreamy, delicate, and playful style true to the whimsy and wonder of the story. Described by The Times of London when first published in 1865 as “an excellent piece of nonsense,” Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has gone on to become one of the most popular books ever written, loved by children and adults alike and translated into more than 125 languages. In Tove Jansson, Carroll’s classic finds an illustrator worthy of its enchantment and surreal beauty. Jansson is renowned worldwide for her hugely successful books about the inhabitants of Moomin Valley. What is less well known is that in 1966 she devoted her unique gifts to illustrating Alice’s extraordinary adventures. Nearly sixty years after her interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s masterpiece was first enjoyed by Scandinavian readers, Tove Jansson’s beautifully realized edition of the original text of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is finally available to an English-speaking audience.

About the Author :
Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) is the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Carroll was a mathematics lecturer who in his spare time penned poems, short stories and children's tales as well as puzzles and games of logic. He was also a pioneering photographer. Tove Jansson (1914-2001) was a novelist, painter, illustrator and cartoonist. Born in Helsinki, Finland, Jansson's books have been translated into over forty languages. She is most famous for her much-loved Moomin characters. She also wrote eleven novels and short-story collections for adults, including The Summer Book, The True Deceiver, Fair Play, and The Woman Who Borrowed Memories (available as NYRB Classics).

Review :
"The pairing is inspired: Jansson’s off-kilter whimsy and ability to convey moodiness is a perfect match for both the delights and the terrors of Wonderland....In Jansson’s Wonderland, characters are as melancholy, complex and occasionally scary as those in Moominland....Jansson’s close observation of the natural world comes through in details like her illustration of the enigmatic caterpillar’s mushroom, and the surrounding flowers and grasses. She brings this naturalist’s eye to embellishments throughout the book. — Sadie Stein, The New York Times Book Review J"ansson was commissioned to illustrate a now-rare Swedish edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, crafting a sublime fantasy experience that fuses Carroll’s Wonderland with Jansson’s Moomin Valley." — Maria Popova, The Marginalian
