English writer and playwright Mervyn Peake, author of the world-famous Gormenghast trilogy, was also a remarkably talented illustrator. He created illustrations for many books, including Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Hunting of the Snark, and Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, which will be included in the Mervyn Peake Classics Illustrated series. The series opens with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The illustrations for this book are considered Peake's finest works: they embody the artist's skill and imagination. With delicate line drawings, full of subtle light and shadow, Mervyn Peake managed to convey the fantastical world created by Lewis Carroll with astonishing accuracy. This edition features the text in Nina Demurova's classic translation.
