About This Item
Macmillan & Co. London. 1867. EARLY EDITION. Eighth Thousand. 8vo, (7.5 x 5.2 inches). Illustrated throughout, with forty line engravings by John Tenniel. A few minor marks to a handful of pages but overall a very good, clean copy in a fine leather binding. Recent full deep red morocco binding, gilt decorative borders on boards. Spines with raised bands, compartments decorated with gilt stamps of The Mad Hatter and playing cards. All edges gilt. Original publishers burgundy cloth boards, with gilt ruled lines and circular central illustrations, are bound into the back of each volume and show some rubbing and wear but are generally in fair condition. An attractive and early edition of this classic, published the year after the first published edition.
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.
