(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Rodney Matthews. Matthews plays up the grotesquerie, menace, and psychedelia of Carroll's work. The Mad Hatter, for example, is terrifying, with a pointy, wart-riddled beak, buck teeth, and spindly fingers. In some of the pictures (e.g., Alice's dialogue with the Caterpillar), the protagonist looks positively emaciated. The book's effective design elements include thick, creamy paper and a sturdy slipcase.
