Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
Bedtime Stories Antiquarian & Collectible Classic Fantasy Young Adult Fiction Adventure Fiction Children’s Fantasy Victorian Literature
Collectors searching for a vintage, illustrated hardcover of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass will appreciate this 1982 Longmeadow Press edition. Bound in sturdy cloth and generously sized for shelf presence, it pairs both beloved novels in one volume and is filled with full-page drawings that capture Wonderland’s whimsy. The 1980s printing date gives the book the patina and typographic charm sought by antiquarian buyers, while the crisp paper and tight binding ensure it can still be read aloud at bedtime or displayed in an adult fantasy collection.
What makes this copy especially appealing is its traceable provenance: a neat handwritten name and personalised stamp on the front endpapers show it was cherished by a previous owner, yet the inner pages remain free of dog-ears, underlining, or other markings. A single scuff on the rear board is noted, but overall the book presents beautifully and is ready for gift-giving, reading to children, or standing spine-out on a classics shelf. Because it is inscribed rather than signed, it carries personal history without the premium price of an author signature, letting fans of Lewis Carroll enjoy an heirloom-quality edition at an accessible value.
