All About Alice

Despite being Lewis Carroll's most famous work, it can be difficult to completely understand the reach of the Alice Series. Alice in Wonderland alone has thousands of editions printed over the years. It has been translated into over 97 languages. Within the Cassady Collection, we have several languages, including: 

  • English

  • Japanese

  • Chinese

  • Korean

  • Cyrillic

  • Hebrew

The differences between these mostly come down to illustrations. From the classic and traditional, to the modern and experimental, there is an Alice book for every art style. Below are some of the examples within the Cassady Collection, take your pick and enjoy!
