About the Author

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was an English mathematician, photographer, and prolific writer, especially known for his beloved books Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Preferring the company of children to adults, his Alice books were inspired by his friendship with the young Alice Liddell, the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, where Carroll was a mathematics instructor.

Andrea D’Aquino has always resisted labels like “art director”, “illustrator”, “graphic designer” and finds herself happiest straddling the line between all those things. She has worked as a senior art director for major advertising agencies.

As an illustrator and designer, clients include Anthropologie, The New York Times, Conde Nast Traveller, The Washington Post, Elle Magazine, One Kings Lane, Vegetarian Times, Family Fun, Chronicle Books, Uppercase, Flow Magazine, PlanSponsor Magazine, and many others.

Her work has been recognized by Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, Art Director’s Club, Communication Arts, 3×3 Magazine, The One Club, and The Type Director’s Club.

In this 150th anniversary year, I have seen a few re-illustrated volumes of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. This is the first one that made me want to own it for the artwork alone! Andrea’s Alice is so contemporary and modern… she is someone I would want as a friend. The scenes are lush and wondrous. I honestly don’t know how the Andrea was able to get past the blank page–to re-imagine Tenniel’s iconic work must have been nerve-wracking. And yet she succeeded spectacularly. I’m not totally impartial, I have been a fan of Andrea’s art for some time. But my review is sincere: this is a keepsake edition, well made from the artwork to the paper and binding.

Inventive, colorful illustrations with a surreal sense of visual humor and adult wit entertain and inspire us to reflect on the profound Lewis Carroll nonsensical (or is it?) dialogue that asks nothing less than the bigger questions of life and it’s meaning.Somehow, very familiar scenes are re-imagined and refresh this classic text. An unstudied, child-like freshness comes through each page, with unexpected takes on the characters that lets us see them in a new light. Appropriate for kids, but aimed at grown-ups, with a wink to those with a sophisticated sensibility.

This graphic illlustrated classic is a true wonder! It is a beautiful book from the inside out. Starting with the cover, you are drawn into Alice’s wonderland in a cool modern, abstract and thought provoking manner. The poems are just wonderful and the illustrations punctuate the fabulous story. I loved reading this classic with the iconic artwork of Andrea D’Aquino. I am thrilled to have this on my bookshelf !
