Alica v Krajine Zázrakov.

[Alica in the Land of Miracles].

Translated into Slovak by Juraj Vojtek.

Illustrated by Dušan Kállay.

Bratislava: Mladé letá, 1984.

First issued in 1981, this translation includes both Wonderland and Looking-Glass. The award-winning Slovak artist Dušan Kállay brings an ethereal innocence to his illustrations, especially to his pensive dark-haired Alice. The King and Queen of Hearts in their placid simplicity are far from Tenniel’s threatening royal cards.
