ALICE IN WONDERLAND. By Lewis Carroll. (Hodder and Stoughton. 15s.

net.)

The original illustrations of Alice in Wonderland so took our hearts and have, through familiarity, become so insepar- able from the tale, that it is with great disappointment that we see an edition produced with illustrations by another artist. Miss Gwynedd M. Hudson does not make up by any new vision or technical competence for the loss of the old illustra- tions. Her Alice is expressionless, her Caterpillar, Griphon, and Mock Turtle are conventionally fantastic, and, in general, her painting is merely decorative and two-dimensional. The type is large and easy to read.
