Love, love, love Chris Riddell! We had lots of books with his illustrations when my son was younger. We especially loved his characters in "Something else", "Wendel's Workshop" and "Mr. Underbed". These books were much treasured and made it into the "memory library".

I loved copying Teniel when I was starting out on my art career too, those drawings lead to a lifelong love of line drawing, illustration, and character art.

Good for you. A great shame Mr Lidell didn't learn more from copying Tenniel.

I have a 1923 version of Alice through the looking glass and a lot of these images are burned in my memory I love that they’ve decided to reimagine the characters

This is an excellent video and I am very much looking forward to visiting the exhibition at the V&A. Chris Riddell's Gulliver's Travels is one of the greatest illustrated children's books ever - on a par with Tenniel.

If I was being pedantic I'd insist that the top hat be made of cured felt as the mercuric nitrate used in the production is what caused Mad Hatter's disease. Also the lady hatter is probably too young to have gone mad from it yet, but what the hell; it's not really important. I love Riddell's work in the Goth Girl series. Though the books themselves seem to end to abruptly. I understand they're written for children, despite this they seem to develop quite nicely in intrigue, only then to be spoiled somewhat by sudden conclusions. Also I fear children will completely miss out on most of the parodical references, but perhaps those are for the parents.

0:56 I don't know if Riddle knew this or naturally inferred the idea from the text. Scholars have pointed out the similarities between the poems in Alice in Wonderland and improving texts.

To be more accurateThe Water Babies by Charles Kingsley was published in 1863, Alice in Wonderland in 1865, but that's probably splitting hairs.

To be more accurate Water Babies was all written by May 1862.

I just remembered because of this random video on my feed that i dreamed about something like Alice in Wonderland thingy. Where i supposed to, eat that soft bar to get away and i wont get caught with 2 other companions, yet i havent shrinking, its not working. And so i lied down acting like im not existing so the owner of the house wont kill me. But they just act like, oh the heck this thing besides the *rabbit cage*" "oh she's with *one of my companion" , like its ok for me to appear there, so i looked stupid.

Alice has several moral lessons though... and teaches children quite a bit about logic and questioning things. So no, children’s books should not just be ”escapism” without any substance - makes them rather pointless. And an androgynos Hatter? Seriously?

Sorry Chris but your illustrations are far too simplistic and lack the sophistication of the Tenniel originals. Alice in Wonderland is far too complex to become just a comicbook.
