Arthur Rackham's works have become very popular since his death, both in North America and Britain. His images have been widely used by the greeting card industry and many of his books are still in print or have been recently available in both paperback and hardback editions.

Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is a novel by J. M. Barrie, published in 1906. It is one of four major literary works by Barrie featuring the widely known character he originated, Peter Pan. The story is set in Kensington Gardens, a famous park in London, mostly after "Lock-out Time", described by Barrie as the time at the end of the day when the park gates are closed to the public. After this time the fairies and other magical inhabitants of the park can move about more freely than during the daylight, when they must hide from ordinary people. The fairy inhabitants of the gardens are first described in Thomas Tickell�s 1722 poem Kensington Gardens.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland(commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature.
This version originally published in 1907.
