“This vastly enlarged and splendidly illustrated new edition of Michael Hancher’s already indispensable book is a must-read, not merely for those who relish the work of John Tenniel and Lewis Carroll, but for anyone interested in how the surprisingly complex processes of nineteenth-century illustration actually worked during the golden age of wood engraving. The book's appearance is cause for rejoicing—for Victorianists everywhere.” —Patrick Leary
“Michael Hancher’s significantly updated and revised study of the collaboration between John Tenniel and Lewis Carroll on the creation and production of the Alice books is essential reading for scholars in book history, Victorian studies, and children’s literature. Given Hancher’s meticulous eye for detail, I think even Carroll would approve.” —Jan Susina, Illinois State University
