With a penchant for animals, he began illustrating books that would become children’s classics, including Uncle Remus (1906) and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1908); the latter, including over ninety colour plates, is considered his pièce de résistance and the defining version of the famous book. It was Rountree’s work on the Lewis Carroll classic that arguably solidified his reputation as an accomplished author of children’s books. Writing for magazine throughout almost all of his professional life, he produced almost innumerable illustrations that would become famous for their arguably unparalleled quality.
