Books Update: Alice In Wonderland: 2 contrasting editions from different times
*Children’s Books: Two very different editions of Alice this week, both over-sized with full cover illustrations and both abridged; both are quite gorgeous. The first is undated but believed to be circa 1950 with charming illustrations; the second is from as recently as 2004 with stunning painted artwork.
