About This Item

London: Macmillan and Co., Limited, 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. A Fine copy of the First Edition, First Printing in the Publisher's original blue cloth in a Fine dust jacket in a coordinated blue color with the jacket's front panel showing the Author's initials and the spine panel showing the book's short title, the author's pen name and the Publisher's name, all in dark blue. Dodgson was a frequent corespondent with children, including Evelyn Hatch. The jacket's spine shows some toning and the book shows scattered foxing within. The book is richly illustrated and includes facsimile illustrations of letters from Carroll to some of his young friends. Per Wikipedia: Evelyn Hatch was an English child friend of the adult Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name of Lewis Carroll. She was the subject of photographs by Dodgson and is often part of the contemporary discussion about Dodgson's relationship with young female children. This is a quite nice copy of her work about Lewis Carroll in the uncommon dust jacket.
