Alice in Wonderland

The British Library has posted an extraordinary online version of the original hand-written and self-illustrated manuscript for Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol, a.k.a. Charles Dodgson.

Please note the 'enlarge' feature, it allows you to really enjoy Dodgson's drawings, which I find very talented. Not smoothly skilled like a professional artist's, but they have a lot of graphic power.

  1. Alice in Wonderland was one of my first favourite books when I was a child.....and I still love it!

    I haven`t had a chance yet today to look at the on-line version, but I will this weekend!

    Must thank you again, Eolake, for letting us know about this one, I can`t wait to see these illustrations as well as read the book again.
    Many thanks my dear, will speak to you soon.
