Alice Tuhaflıklar Ülkesinde

[Alice in the Country of Oddities].

Translated into Turkish by Suna Asimgil.

Istanbul: Neşriyat Anonim Sirketi, 1971.

The anonymous illustrator of this and the Tilsimli Ayna [The Enchanted Mirror] pocket-sized editions of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Looking-Glass has nicely redrawn several of Tenniel’s illustrations so that the characters look more Turkish than British.
