A version of Alice in Wonderland was printed in 1969—with illustrations by Salvador Dali!

Alice in Wonderland is a surrealistic story, so it stands to reason that the book illustrations would be pretty strange. Apparently, though, publishing giant Random House wanted them to be really bizarre and commissioned none other than surrealist artist Salvador Dali!


Best known for “The Persistence of Memory”, a painting featuring melting clocks, Dali used to create his paintings by waking himself up just as he was about to sleep and then painting the images he saw.


He had a unique take on Alice in Wonderland. What do you think of his illustrations?
