The Nursery "Alice"
Alice in Wonderland: Nursery (film) |
The Nursery "Alice" (1889/90)[1] is an abridged version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll, adapted by the author himself for children "from nought to five". It includes 20 of John Tenniel's illustrations from the original book, redrawn, enlarged, coloured – and, in some cases, revised – by Tenniel himself. The book was published by Macmillan a quarter-century after the original Alice. It features new illustrated front and back covers in full colour by E. Gertrude Thomson, who was a good friend of Carroll.[2] The book was 'engraved and printed' by the famous colour printer Edmund Evans.
The work is not merely a shortened and simplified version, along the lines of J. C. Gorham's 1905
