There is a glossary of Carroll's invented words at the back of the book.
Júlia Sard?'s striking illustrations offer an interpretation of Lewis Carroll's work that is faithful to the spirit of his writing and the look of the real life Alice. Packed with rich and surprising details, Júlia's artwork makes this a stunning book to treasure.
