His whimsical storytelling, wordplay, and imaginative characters revolutionized children's literature, making Alice's Adventures in Wonderland a timeless classic.

The illustrator: John Tenniel (1820–1914) was a renowned British illustrator and political cartoonist, celebrated for his detailed and expressive illustrations in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. His artistic vision shaped the enduring visual identity of Alice and her world, making his illustrations an integral part of the book’s legacy.
