she was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off. The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good- natured, she thought: still it had VERY long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect.

So Alice got up and ran off, thinking while she ran, as well she might, what a wonderful dream it had been. But her sister sat still just as she left her, leaning her head on her hand, watching the setting sun, and thinking of little Alice and all her wonderful Adventures.

`Who are YOU?’ said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I—I hardly know, sir, just at present— at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.’

Plum Awards 2019: My personal favourite entries

This year's annual competition for Children's illustrators Plum Awards had an Alice's adventures in Wonderland theme. 

As to be expected the illustrations ranged from inventive and based on the novel to based on the characters only.

For this little image gallery I selected illustrations that correspond with Carroll only. 

I could have honestly chosen a thousand of these illustrations but here is a few of my favourites. These illustrate (!) the wonderful diversity of artists and art in this completion. 

Sadly none of my favourites made the final cut (you can see who the winner was here




Catherin Peterslund's interpretation of Alice and the White Rabbit. 


Mónica de la Torre's Alice



otenyakova's interpretation of the Lobster Quadrille. 



Trudi Murray's "anti-establishment" teenage Alice and the Queen of Hearts 



Ernica Root's thoroughly modern Alice. Taken from a 1 page large spread. 



Floss Pottage's Alice






















Jemma Jamie Skidmore's Alice and the White Rabbit (cropped from larger photo by me)



Anastasia Lü's interpretation of a ukranian Alice falling down the rabbit hole.

`Stuff and nonsense!' said Alice loudly. `The idea of having the sentence first!'   `Hold your tongue!' said the Queen, turning purple. `I won't!' said Alice.
