she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

Utterly beautiful illustrations for Carroll’s l'Autre Côté du Miroir (Through the Looking-Glass) by Gaetan Noir adapted for a French Literature magazine for Children. 

Night is short Walk on Girl novella release now July... (according to the publisher)

(Image: original Japanese editions) 

The English translation of  "Night is short..." will now be released on the 23rd of July.

Weirdly amazon's UK page contradicts this, but the publisher has now stated July so... 

*shrugs*

Although its been put back I honestly don't mind as long as the translation is of good quality.

 now the release is (maybe) in July it makes for good carrollian July reading...

And of course I'll review it for this blog (alongside the film version!) 

Kurosaka Keita’s illustrations for a Japanese edition of Vitezslav Nezval’s Valerie and her Week of Wonders.

These are still my current favourite illustrations after Kamil Lhotak’s. 

Sure they lack the surreal abstract nature of the recent German illustrations and the Victorian homages of Lhotak's originals, but there's something about these illustrations that just fit the narrative.

Also love the idea of having all characters except for Valerie looking extremely grotesque. Kind of plays up the unreal, nightmarish side to the narrative.
