"Older students, especially those studying art and
graphics, might well find much to research in this extraordinary
collaboration."---Jane Doonan, School Librarian
"Engaging the text side by side with the artwork yields a myriad
of interesting tonal effects in both the words and the pictures.
It's an entirely different approach to the notion of
illustration. . . . This book succeeds in scratching the itch
many admirers of Carroll and Dalí have felt for too
long."---Megan Volpert, PopMatters,
"Dali's illustrations have a colourful force of their own.
Carroll's Alice anticipated the Surrealist wonderland: dreams and
paradoxes, puns and psychoanalysis, distortions of space and
time."---Dominic Green, Standpoint
"[S]tunning."---Bill Condie, Cosmos
"Winner of a 2015 Gelett Burgess Children’s Book Award"
"[The drawings were] originally printed alongside the rise of
1960s psychedelia, we can return to examine the curious
collaboration between one of the most prolific 20th-century
dreamers and one of the 19th-century's most influential
fantasies."---Allison Meier, Hyperic
"One of Buffalo News’ 10 Rare and Wonderful Books for Holiday
Giving 2015"
"Selected for Cosmos Magazine’s Holiday Science Reading list
2015"
"[This] is the copy of Alice's Adventures you keep after having
given all the other celebratory variants away . . . it comes with
two very astute and well-illustrated introductions. . . . It is,
as the introductions state, as both creators would like to see
it--two weird and/or wonderful minds with much in common,
harmonizing across the centuries to result in this very handsome
modern edition."---John Lloyd, The Bookbag
"[A] stunning 150th-anniversary edition of the classic novel
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. . . . Dalí's illustrations
afford us a glimpse of Wonderland as he sees it, allowing us to
better grasp the implications, tropes and symbols the work is
pregnant with."---Wan Lixin, Shanghai Daily

Review
------
"To those of us brought up on John Tenniel's iconic
illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, it seems
unbelievable that anyone else would dare to attempt the task. Yet
hundreds have done so, though none is as distinguished and few as
imaginative as Salvador Dalí. This attractive 150th anniversary
edition, which describes Dalí's mathematical interests and
presents his illustrations (previously published only in a rare
limited edition), is greatly to be welcomed."―Robin Wilson,
author of Lewis Carroll in Numberland
"All in all a marvelous book printed on thick paper. This
anniversary edition will be an irresistible temptation to any
bibliophile."―A. Bultheel
"Until now, the astounding illustrations drawn by Salvador Dalí
for a deluxe limited edition and expensive version of Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland were out of reach for most book lovers.
This book fulfills the dreams of many who want to have their own
copies of these beautiful works, with the addition of an erudite
introduction to Carroll and Dalí by Mark Burstein and Thomas
Banchoff."―Edward Wakeling, author of Lewis Carroll: The Man and
His Circle
"How appropriate for this volume to appear as part of the
celebration of the 150th anniversary of the first publication of
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Burstein and Banchoff give us
ins into the genius of both Carroll and Dalí, and then we
have Dalí's illustrations, which are far distant from any
suggestion of realism. Altogether, it is a remarkable voyage
through Wonderland on a new plane―an enlightening and pleasurable
adventure."―Morton N. Cohen, author of Lewis Carroll: A Biography
