"Under the Lilacs" Louisa May Alcott, first published in 1878.
On permanent display at the Scholes Library, Alfred University, New York.
"Under the Lilacs" is a children's novel. The story is about two girls (Bab and Betty Moss), Miss Celia, a circus runaway (Ben Brown) and his dog (Sancho).
Thank you! Yes, the illustrations were part of the novel. When possible, I try to use the actual illustrations, though I may color them or alter them in some way.
Ever consider tackling Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass? It seems to me the subject matter would lend itself so well to this treatment.
I have thought about it. There is a book alter from Alice floating around out there. Try googling it. There are a lot that I would like to do, I just haven't been able to get my hands on the books.
