The BOOK is in Very Good++ or better condition. 179 pages, b/w plates and text illustrations, 8 colour plates. Top edge gilt. All of the pages and colour plates are present Light wear at the top and bottom of the spine, with mild rubbing at the corners and edges. The gilt decoration to the front cover and spine remains very bright. Free from bookplates and inscriptions. Some spotting and age related marking to the prelims, text block and page edges due to the quality of the paper stock used. The plates remain clean and vibrant. Wonderfully illustrated throughout by Charles Robinson. The book is protected in a removable Mylar archival cover. An extremely elusive title to find as the first issue and complete.

Synopsis

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There , tell the story of a young girl in a fantasy world filled with peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The classic tale of literary nonsense takes the reader on an exploration of logic and absurdities. The Alice books — sometimes combined or referred to with the abbreviated title Alice in Wonderland — have been translated into at least 97 languages with over a hundred different editions. The books have also been adapted numerous times into films (both live-action and cartoon), plays, and musicals.
