"Peake's Alice: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass" refers to a unique edition of the classic works by Lewis Carroll, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) and "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" (1871), illustrated by Mervyn Peake. This edition stands out due to Peake's distinctive approach to the visual representation of Carroll's imaginative world. Mervyn Peake (1911–1968) was an English writer, artist, poet, and illustrator, best known for his "Gormenghast" series of novels. Peake's illustrations for Carroll's texts are celebrated for their originality, depth, and the way they capture the surreal and whimsical qualities of Alice's adventures.

Lewis Carroll's tales of Alice have captivated readers for over a century with their fantastical narratives, whimsical characters, and linguistic playfulness. They follow the young Alice as she ventures into magical realms: first, down a rabbit hole into Wonderland, and then through a looking-glass into a parallel world. These stories have been subject to countless adaptations and interpretations in various media, including numerous illustrated editions. However, Peake's contribution is particularly noted for its gothic, intricate style that adds a new layer of depth to the already complex narrative worlds created by Carroll.

Peake's illustrations for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" were completed in the mid-20th century, offering a modernist take on the Victorian texts. His work is characterized by its detailed pen-and-ink drawings, which exhibit a blend of darkness and whimsy. This contrast complements Carroll's narrative, emphasizing the peculiar and often unsettling adventures that Alice encounters. Peake's ability to visualize the text, giving form to its bizarre characters and landscapes, has made his edition a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts of both Carroll's work and illustration art.

The "Peake's Alice" edition not only showcases the synergy between Carroll's imaginative storytelling and Peake's artistic vision but also highlights the enduring appeal of the Alice stories. It underscores the way in which classic literature can be continually reimagined and reinterpreted through the lens of different cultural and artistic perspectives. This edition is a testament to the timeless nature of Carroll's work and the universal themes of curiosity, transformation, and the absurdity of the world, as well as Peake's remarkable talent in capturing the essence of these themes through his illustrations.
