Alices in Wonderland: Part 20

We have already seen one Purnell edition and this illustration is from another, the Purnell Colour Classics edition (1976). Unlike the 1982 edition, this one contains some artist information. It was illustrated by Gordon King. He has become renowned for his portraits of girls and though his Alice illustrations are relatively early and perhaps not as well developed as his later work they do show the beginnings of how that reputation was established.

As Alice waits to see what will happen next, the animals outside start throwing stones in through the window, and when they land they turn into cakes. Alice, applying the logic that as she can't get bigger, they must make her smaller, eats them.
