The author: Lewis Carroll (1832–1898) was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English writer of world-famous children's fiction, notably "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and its sequel "Through the Looking-Glass". He is known for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are many references in his work to his Victorian contemporaries.

The illustrator: Mabel Lucie Attwell (1879–1964) was a British illustrator known for her cute, nostalgic drawings of children, based on her daughter, Peggy. Her illustrations for this edition of ALICE IN WONDERLAND offer a distinct, charming portrayal of Carroll's characters, making this edition highly sought-after among fans and collectors of Alice's tales.
