Childhood is a time when the creativity and imagination in a child are at an all time high. Reading novels, listening to fables and devouring books is not only intellectually stimulating but also a rewarding experience for young kids. However, nothing fans the flame of fascination in children quite like illustrations do. The good folks at Google are honouring one of the finest illustrators of recent times, Sir John Tenniel, with a doodle.
The doodle is essentially an illustration of a young girl, (Alice from 'Alice in Wonderland', in all probability) gazing into her ‘Wonderland’.

Doodle celebrating Sir John Tenniel.
Sir John Tenniel was born on 28 February 2020 and was knighted for his work in 1893. Tenniel is remembered for his 50 years as a political cartoonist with the ‘Punch’ magazine. Tenniel developed a distinctive style, due in part to his near-photographic memory.
The cartoonist studied at the Royal Academy of Arts and had contributed for a 16-foot cartoon to a design competition for mural decoration of the new Palace of Westminster in 1836.
His works have won him a global audience and made him a household name and his legacy continues to be cherished by his admirers for his distinctive style and the timeless nature of his work.
