First Högfeldt-illustrated edition in English. A wonderfully illustrated edition of Lewis Carroll’s classic novels by the Swedish painter, illustrator, and cartoonist, Gustav Robert Högfeldt. The playful watercolors and humorous line illustrations perfectly capture the whimsy of Carroll’s two tales of Wonderland in Hogfeldt’s distinct imagery.
