Lewis Carroll's Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, adapted by Dame Darcy
Classics, Classics, Classics...we can't seem to stop thinking about them. We, here at The Things You Can Read, are pleasantly surprised to discover that a graphic novel version of many of the classics is available. The collection of literary classic comics is entitled The Graphic Canon, Vol. 2: From "Kubla Khan" to the Bronte Sisters to The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Once we read the description, sampled a few of the illustrations, we immediately added this one to our wish list. What a great way to introduce the classics in a user friendly way to younger readers. Take a peek at Brain Pickings post for further details on literary comics. In the mean time enjoy a few illustrations from The Graphic Canon, Vol. 2: From "Kubla Khan" to the Bronte Sisters to The Picture of Dorian Gray.
