Classic Alice In Wonderland

‘Speak in French when you can’t think of the English for a thing-- turn your toes out when you walk--- And remember who you are!’, The Red Queen
Prepare to venture down the rabbit-hole with an exceptional dual edition combining Lewis Carroll’s (1832-98) much-loved stories, ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’, first published 1865; and ‘Through the Looking-Glass’, from 1871. Illustrated throughout with the original black-and-white engravings by Sir John Tenniel (1820-1914), follow Alice on her adventures through Carroll’s poetic, puzzling and playful timeless words. Handsomely presented with a sturdy, cloth quarter-binding and convenient ribbon marker; bound within an embossed and foiled cover which has been adapted from an original leather binding by Ramage of London, the firm founded by British bookbinder John Ramage (1836-1911). Thoughtfully produced on archival quality, cream paper with the text set at a legible size and comfortable spacing. With a removeable cardboard band, readers can enjoy the luxurious finish without barcodes and completing the look of a 19th century original. Sure to enchant readers of all ages, whether discovering Alice for the first time or rediscovering her as an old friend.
