Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865)

and Through the Looking-Glass (1871)

I've always loved Lewis Carroll's Alice books.

They terrified me as a child and fascinated me as an adult.

Sometimes I just dip in and read a favourite chapter.

'Wool and Water' is the best description of trippin' ever!

My treasured copy was given to my eldest brother in 1956.

I can't remember a time when it wasn't around.

It's seen better days as you can see.

I thought I'd celebrate it's 70th birthday

by sharing some of Philip Gough's wonderful illustrations.

Many of them are weird and unsettling

but that Jabberwocky one gave me nightmares when I was a kid :)

"Curiouser and curiouser!" cried Alice (she was so much surprised,

that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English)
