Alice in Wonderland a Dean Gold Medal Vintage Children's Book Lewis Carroll Illustrated Classic 1969

This delightful Alice in Wonderland vintage children's book is presented to you in this Dean's Gold Medal vintage bedtime story book from the 1960's era that remains in bright and clean condition. Even the 'This book Belongs' too is still blank.  Published approximately 100 years after this all time classic tale of "Alice in Wonderland" was first created, the story is simply retold in this quite hard to find, (especially in such good condition) beautifully illustrated children's hardback book.

This lovely old children's book is stuffed full of enticing full colour illustrations, richly illustrated on every single page to appeal to young minds. The print is also large and easy to read so you can tell this story at bedtime and older children could read along. 

This charming vintage book is simply perfect to join Alice and the White Rabbit in this timeless classic by Lewis Carroll that continues to enchant children as much as it did over a hundred years now. Dive down the rabbit hole, meet the mysterious blue caterpillar and smiling Cheshire Cat as the indomitable Alice goes on her thrilling adventure.

This is a First Edition thus of this lovely old vintage Deans Children's book from the 1960's that gave many of us a love of reading from an early age with their exquisite illustrations, from some of the best children's illustrators of the 20th century such as Rene Cloke and Anne Grahame Johnstone. Rene Cloke of course illustrated many children's books throughout the 20th century including books by Enid Blyton. This Alice in Wonderland book is illustrated by the talented Rene Cloke and is a first edition in this Gold Medal format.

Such a sweet vintage Alice in Wonderland book that comes to you in excellent condition. Perfect to share with a young child as their very first Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, very own bedtime story.

Kittys Reader Notes & Book Snippet

"Alice was sitting on the grass with her sister one hot day, when she was surprised to see a white Rabbit running by.
'Oh dear, oh dear,' said the rabbit, 'I shall be too late!'
He took a watch from his pocket as he hurried past and disappeared down a rabbit-hole under the hedge.
'I must follow him,' thought Alice and, without thinking how she would get out she popped down the hole after him."

Aimed at bedtime storytime for young children this lovely 1960's book condenses the tale of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll into simple phrases and a fast pace without losing the irresistible charm of Lewis Carroll's original telling of this timeless classic.

The exquisite illustrations on every single page by Rene Cloke are an absolute delight one of my favourite vintage Alice in Wonderland books that is sure to be loved again!
