What could make Lewis Carrol's trippy tale of rabbits in waistcoats, hookah huffing caterpillars, and white roses painted red even trippier? Illustrations by Salvador Dali of course! In 1969, Random House in New York published an edition of Alice in Wonderland complete with an illustration for each chapter from Dali. Nowadays a copy of this fantastic edition will set you back several thousand pounds but thanks to the internet the illustrations are here for your viewing plaisir:
