Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

First edition.

In the publisher's original cloth binding.

'Sylvie and Bruno' is set partly in real-world Victorian time (with explorations of religion, society, philosophy and morality) and partly within the fantasy world of Fairyland, incorporating many nonsense elements and poems similar to Carroll's Alice books.

This and its second volume 'Sylvie and Bruno Concluded' form the last novel from Carroll published during his lifetime.

Both this novel and 'Concluded' were illustrated by Harry Furniss, who established his career on the Illustrated London News and afterwards Punch.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, smart, with fading to the spine and rubbing and bumping to the extremities. Damp spots to the front board. Spine is slightly cocked. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean, with only spotting to the endpapers.

Overall: Very Good
