Since making her first appearance in 1865,Lewis Carroll's Alice has worked her magic on generations of readers around the world.She has been televised,dramatised,animated and annotated,becoming in the process one of literature's best-loved heroines and an essential part of childhood.Now Justin Todd takes a fresh look at the story with a dazzling array of pictures which paint anew the topsy-turvy world Alice discovers at the bottom of the rabbit hole.He presents her to us as the little girl who first inspired Lewis Carroll: Alice Liddell,a fragile,dark-haired child with a remarkable air of composure.She casts an unperturbed eye on even the most curious of creatures as they spring from the pages: the dapper White Rabbit with his desperate concern not to be late (but for what?); the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and their sleepy tea-time companion,the Doormouse; the Cheshire Cat who despite his vanishing trick always leaves his grin behind; and,of course,the outrageous Queen of Hearts with her retinue of nervous playing cards. Here,then,in an inspired interpretation of this enduring classic for today's children and one which turns a new face to all those who have read and enjoyed the story many times before.

Since 1972 he has concentrated on cover illustrations for paperback books specialising in mysticism and horror (including the Fontana Tales of Terror series from 1974).Among these have been many striking images of dream and fantasy, often symbolist or surrealist in feeling and sometimes incorporating allusions from art history.He avoids direct references to nature whenever possible,and instead manipulates his component images into tightly structured yet freely imaginative designs.He works in black and white and full-colour.In 1978,a selection of his paintings was published,called he Magical Paintings of Justin Todd'. In 1982 he was runner-up for the Francis Williams Memorial Prize for children's book illustration, presented every five years by the Victoria and Albert Museum.
