[Rarebooks] FS: ALICE IN WONDERLAND Signed by Alice

[Charles Agvent]

DODGSON, Charles L. (LEWIS CARROLL). ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND. 
New York: Limited Editions Club, 1932. In publisher's heavily 
gilt-decorated full red morocco leather. With the original illustrations 
by John Tenniel. Copy #1327 of 1500 with typography and binding by 
Frederick Warde who has SIGNED the colophon page. Additionally SIGNED 
for the publisher on a separate page bound in before the title page by 
Alice Hargreaves, "the original Alice," one of only about 500 copies of 
the total edition of 1500 copies that were signed by her a few years 
before her death. Alice refused to sign other editions of this famous 
book in her lifetime, written by Carroll for her when she was young 
Alice Liddell, but she was convinced with the help of monetary 
compensation to sign these copies. She would also sign two years later 
copies of THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS by the same publisher. A rare 
opportunity to acquire one of the most famous children's books ever 
published here signed by the subject of the book. Many have praised this 
book, but perhaps novelist Sir Walter Besant's remark is the most 
insightful: "It admits us into a state of being which, until it was 
written, was not only unexplored but undiscovered." Very light rubbing 
to the spine tips and corners, spine a bit sunned. Near Fine in a 
somewhat darkened, Very Good slipcase. (#018989)        $3,500
