Simply gorgeous -- delightful illustrations by Peter Newell punctuate the story, with each page bordered by the ornate designs of Edward S. Martin. "Alice is frankly not quite of this world, and so are Mr. Newell's drawings. It must be destined from the beginning that Mr. Newell should illustrate Alice[.] [...]It is a set of new portraits of old acquaintances. The likenesses are there, of course, but the better we know the old portraits the livelier our interests will be in the new." --Introduction.
