Win an illustrated children's classic book bundle

Mabel Lucie Attwell's illustrated books

Looking for a beautiful book to give your grandchild this Christmas? We're giving away five bundles of two illustrated classics - Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan and Wendy.

Mabel Lucie Attwell's classic illustrations and distinctive style have been the nursery staple of generations of children. She remains one of the most celebrated artists of the last century, and her illustrations adorned everything from postcards to London Underground posters and crockery. Her bathroom plaque extolling children to 'Please remember, don't forget – never leave the bathroom wet' still strikes a chord. Mabel Lucie Attwell illustrated an edition of Alice in Wonderland in 1911. Lewis Carroll's Alice, the bossy White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter are among the best-loved literary creations of all time, and Mabel Lucie interpreted them in her own unique way.

As the original Alice publishers, Macmillan are proud to return Mabel Lucie Attwell's Alice in Wonderland to print, alongside her interpretation of Peter Pan and Wendy, in beautiful hardback gift editions, featuring original full colour plates and line artwork. Such was her popularity and acclaim that J.M. Barrie personally requested Mabel Lucie illustrate this edition of his famous story Peter Pan and Wendy, which was published in 1921. Mabel Lucie’s illustrations are timeless and retain their familiarity and appeal today. These gorgeous books are the perfect Christmas present for collectors and fans alike to share with a new generation.

Mabel Lucie Attwell's Peter Pan and Wendy and Alice in Wonderland are published by Macmillan and are available to buy online and from all good booksellers.
