    Description

    First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    A fascinating selection of letters written by noted English writer Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as his pen name Lewis Carroll, to his childhood friends. These friends include Henrietta and Edwin Dodgson, Mary and Lilia MacDonald, Janet Merriman, and more. 

    Lewis Carroll's most celebrated works include his children's books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. 

    Edited and with an introduction by Carroll's long time friend and correspondent, Evelyn Hatch. 

    First state with top edge gilt.

    The first edition of this work, enclosed in the smart original dust wrapper.

    Including a frontispiece portrait of Carroll, eight collotype plates, and five in-text illustrations. Collated and complete.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart and bright, with just a touch of bumping to the head and tail of the spine and extremities, and just a small amount of shelf wear. Original unclipped dust wrapper is smart, with some light edge wear, and sunning to the backstrip. Wrap is slightly faded, and with a few spots. Internally, firmly bound. A few spots to the first and last few pages and fore-edge, though remaining pages are bright and clean.

    Very Good Indeed
