What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first edition of this fascinating study of the works by Lewis Carroll. By Alexander Taylor. 

A thorough study of the noted author's quirky writing techniques; looking at the possible meanings behind the author's favoured usage of the nonsense genre and the influences on his writing.

With an examination of Carroll's love for Alice Liddell, the daughter of his proud and aristocratic dean, and the impossibility of their romance.

In the unclipped dust wrapper. 

Condition

In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally lovely with only minor shelf wear and a minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine. With a minor faint handling marking to the front board. The dust wrapper is unclipped and excellent with minor shelf wear only and some sunning to the spine, as well as a small closed tear to the front wrap. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean.
