Another version of Alice
Covers
I picked these up in Hoddesdon a few weeks ago and just got around to having a look at them.
Here we have two 1965 Wonderful Worlds of Walt Disney books – Stories from Other Lands and Fantasyland. There are apparently four in the series. They were produced by Artist and Writers Press Inc and published by the House of Grolier.
Fantasyland contents
Other Lands contents
You’ll see from the contents pages that they are story collections. Some are adapted from Disney films – both animation and live action.
Snow White
A Swiss village
Some stories use film stills (again both animated and live action) and some are re-drawn using the animation style as in the Alice in Wonderland and Snow White stories (by Al Dempster and Campbell Grant respectively).
All in all they make lovely, varied and interesting storybooks. I didn’t have these when I was a child as far as I remember, but now I’m glad I’ve got them!
