Bookseller Notes

Lawrence's re-telling of the Alice story proceeds from the coincidence of the opening of the first underground railway in London in 1863 and the early development of Dodgson's tale; it places the familiar characters in a modern setting.The deluxe portfolio version provides a separate suite of Davidson's wonderful engravings, allowing their many witty details to emerge, alongside the original text (itself replete with many witty details).
