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

In 1969, one of the editors of Random House hired Dali to illustrate a limited edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as part of the Book of the Month series. The result was 12 heliogravures, in which the well-known fairy tale acquired new features. For a long time, this version of the book was kept only by 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 North American Society of Lovers Lewis Carroll.

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