Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
Adventure Fantasy Young Adult Victorian Literature Classic Literature Literary Nonsense Collectible Hardcover Illustrated Edition
Collectors looking for a display-worthy copy of Lewis Carroll's masterpiece should consider this 1982 leather-bound edition from Longmeadow Press. It combines both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass in a single, richly illustrated volume plated in gold-stamped leather, making it a striking gift or shelf centerpiece that instantly evokes Victorian charm.
Beyond its visual appeal, the edition is prized for readability: clear type on thick, unyellowed pages and faithful reproductions of John Tenniel's original drawings, ensuring the classic's playful logic, iconic characters, and memorable verse are as enjoyable for today's young adults as for nostalgic adults revisiting Wonderland. The hard binding is still square and tight, so pages turn smoothly for bedtime reading aloud.
While a light scuff on the back leather and a former owner's neat stamp/handwritten name inside are present, the book is otherwise clean—no dog-ears, no tears, no foxing—making it a scarce, well-preserved vintage find that typically appreciates in value. For readers, gift-givers, or collectors wanting an elegant, durable copy of Carroll's enduring fantasy adventure, this illustrated 1982 leather-bound release offers both literary completeness and collectible presence.
