Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and with original illustrations by John Tenniel
$16.99 For over 125 years John Tenniel's superb illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland have been the perfect complement to Lewis Carroll's timeless story.

This is the first Alice to reproduce Tenniel's exquisite drawings from prints taken directly from the original wood engravings. The Rosenbach Museum & Library owns the original pencil sketches that Tenniel made for Alice. [Add to Cart] [View Cart] |

We Are All In The Dumps with Jack and Guy, Two Nursery Rhymes with Pictures, written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak
$20.00 The author illustrator Maurice Sendak looks out to the problems of today's world through this re-interpretation of children's rhymes. He combines two little known and unrelated nursery rhymes, taking advantage of their absence of story to interpret them with a wealth of detail and social commentary. In so doing, his visual images invite readers to become co-conspirators in the creation of the tale. From the dust jacket's ragged and newspaper-wrapped children, depicted within a monstrous mouth that readers will discover is the moon, to the very last page, one must search for clues to bring meaning to the enigmatic text.
