First published within Firsts magazine for December 1995 to accompany Benjamin Harder's article, "Illustrating Alice". Phil Parks is a contemporary illustrator of horror novels and is known for illustrating work by Dean Koontz, the American fantasy author. Original published artwork for Lewis Carroll's novel is not common. Harder stated that "the mass of Alice illustrators forms an unsteady but discernible pyramid. There are a few at the top who have created great works of art; a step down there are a handful of wizards who have managed interesting twists on the originals; and below them are the many who have turned out respectable, if uninspired, editions". The magazine Firsts - Collecting Modern First Editions commissioned Parks to provide a new illustration of the "Mad Tea-Party" featuring Alice, the March Hare, the Dormouse, and the Hatter from the seventh chapter of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
