Alice In Wonderland stamps celebrate 150th anniversary
- Published
It has been 150 years since Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - better known as Lewis Carroll - first told this classic tale to entertain a group of children on a boat trip in 1862. The book has become one of the all-time great children's books.
To celebrate the anniversary the Royal Mail has issued a new set of stamps that depict popular scenes from the book including the Mad Hatter's tea party.
The illustrator Grahame Baker-Smith said "The most difficult thing was consistency and working on such a small scale".
Lots of the characters are included in the collection including Alice herself, the White rabbit and the Cheshire cat.
The stamps are available now all around the UK.
