《Alice s Adventures in Wonderland(爱丽丝仙境历险记)》由LEWIS CARROLL编著。
From Publishers Weekly
If Zwerger's Alice (reviewed above) is deliciously cryptic, Oxenbury's (Tom and Pippo books) brims with the fun and frights of a visit to an amusement park. In perhaps her most ambitious work to date, Oxenbury applies her finely honed instinct for a child's perspective to create an Alice accessible to all ages. With the opening scene of a tomboyish heroine slumped against her sister who is reading under a tree, the artist seems to answer Alice's first line: "What is the use of a book... without pictures or conversations?" Nearly every spread contains either a spot-line drawing or full-bleed full-color painting. The artist nods to Tenniel with her hilarious portrait of the waistcoated White Rabbit and even extends the metaphor of the "grin without a cat" with a quartet of watercolors as the Cheshire Cat begins to disappearAuntil only his grin remains. The villains here are more stoogelike than menacing, including the baby-throwing Duchess and the Queen of Hearts, and Oxenbury makes the most of such comic opportunities as the entangled powdered wigs of the Frog-Footman and Fish-Footman. A series of cleverly choreographed closing scenes shows Alice in the Queen's courtroom, pelted by the playing cards that, on the next spread, seem to have transformed into the falling leaves of the tree where Alice awakens and her sister gives her a kiss; a poignant parting shot of Alice's sister silhouetted at dusk under the tree, with sheep grazing in the field, acknowledges the shift in tone of Carroll's conclusion. An ideal first introduction to a lifelong favorite read. Ages 8-up. (Nov.)

From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up-- Edens has compiled and arranged illustrations from 25 editions of Alice in Wonderland published in the early to mid-1900s. The result is a fascinating look at a variety of illustrative styles. This is far less jarring than one might expect because the original illustrator, John Tenniel, has so strongly influenced his successors that their interpretations are often similar in design. In fact, the fascination in these pictures is the differing details--Alice's dress, her hairstyle, and her expressions tell much about the time period and the artist's viewpoint. Edens has also done a fine job of integrating the pictures with the text. He varies interest by utilizing full-page plates, half plates, vignettes, and even reducing some illustrations to fit the design so the book flows fairly well and these myriad illustrations blend into a whole rather than distract the eye. The reproduction is excellent. A must for collections with historical interest in children's literature and large libraries. --Karen K. Radtke, Milwaukee Public Library

'That's the most important piece of evidence we'veheard yet,' said the King, rubbing his hands; 'so now letthe jury -''If any one of them can explain it,' said Alice (she hadgrown so large in the last few minutes that she wasn't a bitafraid of interrupting him), Tll give him sixpence. I don'tbelieve there,s an atom of meaning in it.'The jury all wrote down on their slates, 'She doesn'tbelieve there's an atom of meaning in it,' but none of themattempted to explain the paper.'If there's no meaning in it,' said the King, 'that saves aworld of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any.And yet I don't know,' he went on, spreading out theverses on his knee, and looking at them with one eye; 'Iseem to see some meaning in them, after all. "- said I couldnot swim - "you can't swim, can you?' he added, turning tothe Knave.The Knave shook his head sadly. 'Do I look like it?' hesaid. (Which he certainly did not, being made entirely ofcardboard.)'All right, so far,' said the King, and he went onmuttering over the verses to himself: ' "We know it to betrue-" that's the jury, of course- "Igave bet one, they gavehim two - " why, that must be what he did with the tarts,you know -''But it goes on "they all returned from him to you",' saidAlice.'Why, there they are!' said the King triumphandy, pointingto the tarts on the table. 'Nothing can be clearer than that.Then again - "before she bad thisfit- "you never had fits, mydear, I think?' he said to the Queen.
