Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There
by Lewis Carroll, illustrations by John Tenniel
Macmillan and Co. Limited, [reprint] 1942
Never as popular as Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland but still worthy of being a children’s classic. Originally published in 1872 [1871], this copy being a 1942 printing.
Hardback. Publisher’s red cloth with gilt title and rules to spine; gilt ornament to centres and blind rules to margins of front and rear boards; gilt to top edge of page-block; plain endpapers. pp xiii, [3], 227 [228], 2 publishers list, [1] colophon, including b/w illustrations. Size: 7.5 x 5.25 inches approx. (190mm x 130mm).
Lightly sunned to spine, nothing too bad however. Boards a little bruised to corners and edges. Endpapers tanned and foxed; pages a touch dusty in places, occasional mark or spotting, occasional creasing or wear, but generally very clean throughout.
Overall, showing some light wear commensurate with age and handling otherwise a particularly nice, clean copy – attractive.
