Laughing Elephant's New Alice in Wonderland Picture Book

This book is a reproduction of an Alice in Wonderland book that was drawn by Italian mid-century illustrator Libico Maraja.

It's a shape book meant for small children, but I think I'll store this exquisite new book carefully on a high shelf away from children's grubby little hands.
