Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and
Through the Looking-Glass
by Lewis Carroll

A well-loved classic.  I came upon this book in an antique bookstore, and fell in love.  I knew immediately that I wanted to use a vibrant colour, and thought of a cover designed around the Queen of Hearts.  While searching on the web for a nice version of the card I found these playing cards from an old  Alice in Wonderland game. 
How could I not use them.  Aren't they wonderful?
For sale
Price on request
The book as it would look on the bookshelf, inside its case and sleeve
Front and back covers of the sleeve
The front cover with the Queen of Hearts - isn't she just wonderful?!
The cards were so great I had to use more, so I used them on the inside plates front and back, and also on the back cover
