I had no idea Dali had been asked to Illustrate Carolls surreal tale. The illustrations are every bit as extraordinary as you might imagine.
What did Salvador Dalí’s Alice in Wonderland look like? from
io9.com magazine.
In 1969, the Random House Book of the Month Club gave readers the opportunity to purchase a copy of Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland as illustrated by surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. And yes, the Mad Hatter's tea party does include a picture of a melted clock.
The painter put his loopy imprimatur on each one of the book's chapters. Here's a
video guide to the book. Also somewhat related, the Disney/Dalí collaboration
Destino.
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return"
