While Sir John Tenniel is well known as the original Aliceillustrator, many other accomplished artists have depicted the adventures of this beloved little girl. Leonard Weisgard's interest in the quality of children's books began as a schoolboy. He found the illustration monotonous and thought the world could not be all that dreary and limited to only one color. Sheehy, Helen (1996). Eva Le Gallienne: A Biography. Alfred A. Knopf.

[45] According to Gillian Beer, Carroll's play with language evokes the feeling of words for new readers: they "still have insecure edges and a nimbus of nonsense blurs the sharp focus of terms". [46] The literary scholar Jessica Straley, in a work about the role of evolutionary theory in Victorian children's literature, argues that Carroll's focus on language prioritises humanism over scientism by emphasising language's role in human self-conception.
