Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Rarely do I see a classic story reworked so well. The cover of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Other Stories released by Barnes & Noble Inc in 2010 is a gorgeous example of classic made contemporary. The pink, black and gold cover make this hefty volume one for the coffee table, not the book shelf. The hand lettered typography complements the illustrations beautifully. The cover was illustrated by Hugh D’Andrade and designed by Jo Obarowski with the interior illustrations by the original Alice’s illustrator, John Tenniel. Gold ink brushes the page edges giving the whole book that little extra something. Do check it out when you get the chance, if only for the darling Alice on the cover and clever Mad Hatter on the back.
