Alice in Wonderland. Illustrations by A. Koshkin

The fairy tale by Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland — a complex, multifaceted work that is extraordinarily difficult to translate and illustrate. Understanding what lies behind the puzzles, quirky dialogues, and images is not easy. The fairy tale contains many meanings and riddles, but one thing remains unchanged: its heroine — the charming, curious, and kind girl Alice. Lewis Carroll created this character based on his little friend, the daughter of a college colleague. Alice turned out to be incredibly lively among the fantastic characters of the tale. This joy of life and the fullness of a child's emotions have been artistically conveyed by the illustrator Alexander Koshkin. The fairy tale in this edition appears in the classic translation by N. Demurova. For middle school age.
