Like a keeper of our collective imagination, he has led us on wide-ranging journeys into the wondrous landscapes of the classics he has so famously illustrated: Neverland, the Riverbank, Oz and Alice's Wonderland - as well as into the magical scenes of his own invention and the more real but no less captivating scenery of his beloved Australia. Wonderlands is a glorious celebration of Robert Ingpen's work as an illustrator and storyteller, told through his own illustrator's notes, original sketches and abundant illustrations from his award-winning publications-and revealing the places, stories and people that inspired him along the way.
