Alice In Wonderland Classic Literature Wonderland

Lewis Carroll’s classic sequel Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There invites readers back into Wonderland, this time through a mirror-lined drawing room where chessboard queens, talking flowers, and Tweedledee and Tweedledum await. This vintage Ward Lock hardcover preserves the original Victorian charm that has made the Alice fantasy novels beloved bedtime stories for children and collectible literature for adults.

The book arrives in acceptable condition, still tightly bound and ready to read. A clear protective wrapper now shelters the original dust jacket, which shows light shelf scuffing, tiny edge chips, and age spotting on its reverse—common, honest wear that signals decades of careful handling. Inside, a neat vintage inscription and date grace the front endpaper, adding a personal touch without claiming authorial signature.

Foxing speckles the closed page edges and occasionally peeks onto the margins, yet the text block remains bright and complete for story-time sharing or collector display. The cloth cover beneath the jacket carries gentle corner bumps and shelving rubs, typical of an antiquarian children’s fantasy that has traveled through time.

For collectors seeking a readable, wallet-friendly copy of Carroll’s dreamscape classic—or parents eager to introduce young readers to the original Alice in Wonderland universe—this hardcover edition offers nostalgic illustrations, sturdy boards, and the magic of a looking-glass world that still feels wonderfully modern.
