Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a fairy tale written by the English mathematician Lewis Carroll back in the 19th century, which to this day remains a symbol of vivid imagination and creativity. Therefore, it is not surprising that many artists have included images of Carroll in their work. However, you must be surprised when you learn that one of these artists was the surrealist Salvador Dali.

In 1969, an editor at Random House hired Dali to illustrate a limited edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as part of the Book of the Month series. As a result, 12 heliogravures were obtained, in which the well-known fairy tale acquired new features. For a long time, this version of the book was kept by only a few collectors, but in honor of the 150th anniversary of the fairy tale, Princeton University Press republished this work with illustrations by Dali and with a foreword by Mark Bernstein, head of the Lewis Carroll North American Society of Lovers.

We signed the illustrations with chapter titles translated by Boris Zakhoder. In total, there are eight versions of translation into Russian, including Nina Demurova and Vladimir Nabokov.
