Tumble down the rabbit hole and into a delightfully surreal jigsaw puzzle
Toadstools, teapots, playing cards, and chess pieces all spring gloriously to life in this surreal take on Lewis Carroll’s beloved classics. Maria Rivans takes her cue from the illustrators, including John Tenniel, who have pictured Carroll’s books, and sets their creations loose in her own idiosyncratic version of Wonderland, combining characters and narratives from both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
Featuring: Alice (including shrunken Alice, giant Alice, long-necked Alice . . .), the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Duchess, the Caterpillar with his hookah, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the Dormouse. Also, the King, Queen, and Knave of Hearts, the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle. And from Through the Looking Glass, the white and black kittens, the White Queen, the Red Queen, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Red King, the Talking Sheep, the Walrus and the Carpenter, the Lion and the Unicorn, and many others.
The accompanying 12-page booklet tells the story of Alice’s creation, illustration, and publication.
Box measures 9 7/8" x 9 7/8" x 2 3/8"; puzzle measures a generous 27"x 18 7/8".
