SELECTION FROM THE LETTERS OF LEWIS CARROLL TO HIS CHILD-FRIENDS

First edition, first printing. Original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine and a gilt motif to the upper board, in dustwrapper. Top edge gilt. With a blue ribbon marker. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs, drawings and reproductions of Carroll's hand-written letters. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities very slightly rubbed, the top corner of the upper board with mild bumping. The contents, with some light spotting to the prelims and faintly to the text block edges are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly toned and dustmarked price-clipped dustwrapper that has some tiny nicks and short closed tears at the spine and flap folds.
