Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
This was mom's childhood book. Color plates by Edwin John Prittie. Other illustrations by Tenniel.

I had to get this one--instead of the Complete or Definitive Annotated Alice-- when I found out that the illustrations were the ones done by Peter Newell, which are hard-ish to come by.

The book that became Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The drawings are by Carroll himself. Here's the Mock Turtle and the Griffon.

The classic Tenniel illustrations in a book that pops up into a 3-D tableau, with punch out paper dolls that can move from room to room.

Peake wrote Gormenghast, which I have never actually read, even though it's been on my to-read list since the tv adaption came out.
Anyway, he also drew these, which are more whimsical than I expected, given Gormenghast
.
Lovely. It makes me think there's some class subtext to the drawings that I'm missing.

Rodney Matthews designs a lot of album coves and draws science fiction covers. Bringing something new to Alice.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland; Tove Jansson, Illus
A friend was celebrating about finding a Moomin book, and I didn't know what that was, and got so schooled on Tove Jansson that when I found out she illustrated Alice, I went on a quest to find a copy.
I love that she chose to illustrate moments from the text that no one else had drawn before (that I've seen anyway), like Alice dreaming that she's walking hand in hand with her cat Dinah, asking her if she has ever eaten a bat.
Contrasting her Mad Hatter and March Hare with Steadman's (earlier) and Moser's (coming) is interesting. Hers are vaguely disreputable, but not too. Steadman's are in some Hunter S. Thompson-esque trip, and Moser's are menacing like the bad guys in a Neil Gaiman novel.

So clever, the collaged photographs of the Tenniel illustrations.

Mom gave me this one because she said that his version of Alice reminded her so much of me as a child.
