Reviews for Artist of Wonderland: The Life, Political Cartoons, and Illustrations of Tenniel (Victorian Literature and Culture Series)
Morris has almost certainly looked at every bit of art (extant and available) that Tenniel produced. Many of the theses advanced along the way are fresh and in some cases unprecedented....The book can claim to be the standard work on Tenniel. - Richard Maxwell, Yale University, editor of The Victorian Illustrated Book
