London: Jonathan Cape, 2007. 1st. hardback. Near fine, 1st edition, no d/j, small bumping mark base of front board; gilt titling on cover and spine bright. Pages tight and crisp, unmarked.. 4to (300 x 240 / 12"" x 9_). Alice in Sunderland is a graphic novel like no other. Bryan Talbot takes the city of Sunderland and the story of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell (the 'real' Alice) as the spine of his story 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. He delves into the city's history, from the Venerable Bede to George Formby, from its heyday as the greatest shipbuilding port in the world to its present multicultural mix.
