Alices In Wonderland: Part 38



The queen invites Alice to play croquet, but it is a most peculiar game with flamingos as mallets and hedgehogs as balls...

The illustration is by Scott McKowen. Although it's a modern edition (Sterling Publishing, 2005) all I've been able to turn up on the internet about the illustrator is various sites selling his books. Lucky then that there are some brief details on the dust jacket. He's an award winning graphic designer, art curator and the designer of Canada's 2001 silver dollar.

I always loved that part of "Alice in Wonderland." I just wanted you to know that I read, and appreciate, your Alice blogging!

Sadly it has nothing to do with popularity and everything to do with the spammers who cost me so much time and effort a few weeks ago.
