Priklyucheniia Alisy v strane chudes. Skazka, rasakazannaia Boris Zakhoderom. [Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, as told to you by Boris Zakhoder].

CARROLL, Lewis (pseud. DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge); KALINOVSKIY, Gennadiy (illustrator).

Moscow, Detskaia Literatura, 1974. . First edition; 4to (22 x 17 cm); illustrated throughout with some full-page; publisher's original pictorial boards, a very good copy. A wonderful translation with beautiful illustrations of one of the most popular children's stories of all time. Zakhoder's version was hugely popular in the Soviet era and is still one of the standard Russian translations. As well as translating directly from the original text, he also added new content to make it easier for Russian children to understand. Zakhoder did publish his own works for children but he was mainly celebrated (and awarded the Russian state prize) for his translations which also included Winnie-the-Pooh and Mary Poppins.
