| Editorial Review | More tempestuous; of greater, grittier (and funnier) distortion... when dangerous satirists like Steadman exercise their imaginations... -- look out. Sophisticated humor -- Liz Pogue "Victoria Times-Colonist" (08/31/2003) ÝSteadman's drawings¨ are still remarkably fresh and unique. PairÝs¨ a perpetually suspicious Alice with peculiar creatures that well warrant her chariness. -- Clair Martin "Denver Post" (11/30/2003) An interesting look at the artist at an earlier stage in his own artistic approach.--Terry Peters"North Shore News" (03/09/2007) [Steadman's drawings] are still remarkably fresh and unique. Don't count on a bookful of sweet, charming etchings of the shrinking golden girl; this is a somewhat less flattering Alice than the one we've come to know and expect. In over 40 pen and ink illustrations, this Wonderland is more tempestuous; of greater, grittier (and funnier) distortion... when dangerous satirists like Steadman exercise their imaginations and lyric, delirious pens in the slivers and shards of a distorted world -- look out. Ferocious Steadman spin. The familiar cast of characters... takes on a bizarre life of its own with Steadman's black and white illustrations. Children... will be curious, confused yet amazed by what they read and see in this book--Cindly L. Carolan "Children's Literature " A world where people fall down rabbit holes and confront talking caterpillars is a place where Steadman would feel comfortable. An interesting look at the artist at an earlier stage in his own artistic approach.--Terry Peters"North Shore News" (03/09/2007) Sophisticated humor--Liz Pogue"Victoria Times-Colonist" (08/31/2003) Pair[s] a perpetually suspicious Alice with peculiar creatures that well warrant her chariness.--Clair Martin"Denver Post" (11/30/2003) Explosive ink drawings... acidic whimsies splash across pages, bringing dear Alice a newly stimulating cup of tea.--David Elliott"San Diego Union-Tribune" (11/30/2003) Carroll's hall-of-mirrors children's tale and Steadman's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" style make for an eerily perfect fit.--Mary Ann Gwinn"Seattle Times" (12/10/2003) Alice as you've rarely seen her... fun for all ages... full of the wit and wisdom Carroll originally gave us.--Betsy Daley"Waterbury Republican-American" (12/07/2003) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition. |
