Alice In Sunderland (Hardcover)

The book that gave Bryan Talbot a doctorate!

Bryan Talbot takes the city of Sunderland and the story of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell (the 'real' Alice) and around them spins a spectacularly diverse range of different stories.

He explores Carroll's links with Sunderland and shows how the city inspired his masterpieces. Talbot's artwork is a spectacular mixture of different styles and his stories are told from the stage of the Sunderland Empire theatre. In "Alice in Sunderland", he shows - triumphantly - how local history is national history in microcosm, how one story begets another. The result is a landmark book in the graphic field.
