The Real Alice: Lewis Carroll's Dream Child

New York: Stein and Day. Very Good in Near Fine dj. 1982 (c.1981). First American Edition. Hardcover. [just lightly shelfworn, although there is what appears to be the aftereffects of some insect-nibbling along the top edges of both boards (tiny bits of exposure of the boards beneath the paper outer covering; not as unsightly as it sounds); internally quite clean and nice; the jacket shows only the slightest handling wear]. (B&W photographs, facsimiles) The first major biography (per the jacket blurb) of Alice Liddell, who was not simply Lewis Carroll's inspiration during her childhood, but also led a rich life as "one of the most brilliant personalities of her day in all walks of life." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
