London: Macmillan, 1890. Very good.. First published edition (the second produced edition overall) of this color-illustrated ALICE for young children, with the Carroll-approved color images of Tenniel's original illustrations - quite a nice copy. In 1889, Lewis Carroll adapted his beloved ALICE IN WONDERLAND for younger readers as THE NURSERY "ALICE." With picture-loving children in mind, he suggested that Macmillan use color-printed illustrations in this edition, and enlisted his close collaborator John Tenniel to add color to his earlier designs.

Carroll suggested that Macmillan offload the offending copies to their American offices, and demanded the printer produce another edition "with Tenniel's coloured pictures before him" (Lovett, 36). This copy of THE NURSERY "ALICE" reflects Carroll's editorial input,… Read More
