June 2, 1938

Curiouser and Curiouser:The Evolution of Wonderland is the name of a website which I believe, undertakes to track changes in the attitudes toward Lewis Carroll's classic. A charming scholar named Lauren Millikan created this website and so to her we owe this information about the book illustrator Helen Oxenbury (June 2, 1938). There we learn--

'Helen Oxenbury ...was born Ipswich, England... She is a beloved and critically acclaimed children's book illustrator. Her Alice, which portrays Alice as a spunky and confident child of the modern era, won the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1999. To learn more about Helen Oxenbury, follow this link to Readingrockets.org (including a video interview!). Below you will see all of the Oxenbury illustrations from chapters 5, 6, and 7. ...'

And here we switch to the graphics Millikan uses, to illustrate Oxenbury's art. Please note also I have copied Millikan's copyright note at the bottom, which I think I shall begin copying myself--not using HER name, of course.

With of course Carroll's text:

" 'All right,' said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone."

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. Cambridge: Candlewick Press, 1999, is the edition we follow Curiouser and Curiouser:The Evolution of Wonderland, in using.

And lastly the copyright notes I intend to follow myself:

'This image was created by me by taking a digital photograph of this artist's illustration. If you own the original of this image and would like me to take down this reproduction, please contact me at Lauren.Millikan@alumni.carleton.edu.'
