Step through the looking glass with this definitive 1965 edition of The Works of Lewis Carroll. This massive 1,122-page volume is a true treasure for fans of literary nonsense and Victorian fantasy, edited and introduced by the noted Inkling and scholar Roger Lancelyn Green. It features the complete range of Carroll’s imaginative output, from the beloved Alice adventures to The Hunting of the Snark and his lesser-known mathematical riddles. Most notably, the text is paired with the iconic original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, the definitive visual interpretations of Carroll's world.
Measuring 8" by 6", this compact yet dense hardcover is an ideal collector’s reference. It is in very good vintage condition and includes its original dust jacket, which has protected the cloth boards for over six decades. While the pages show a natural, light yellowing typical of 1960s book stock, the integrity of the binding and the clarity of the illustrations remain excellent. This edition is a perfect cornerstone for a Dark Academia-inspired library or a sophisticated addition to a "Cottagecore" reading nook. It offers a comprehensive and scholarly way to experience the full breadth of one of England’s most eccentric and influential authors.
