The striking purple pictorial boards remain exceptionally bright and pristine, boasting sharp corners and firm, unbumped spine ends that show virtually no shelf-wear. The binding is remarkably tight and square, suggesting an unread volume. Internally, the text block is immaculate, with the leaves remaining crisp, unblemished, and entirely free from foxing, toning, or previous ownership inscriptions. The integrated purple silk ribbon marker is fully intact and well-preserved. A superb, notably fresh copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is a modern collectors' edition that brings Lewis Carroll's timeless nonsense narrative to life alongside the iconic, original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel.

Here, she encounters a host of memorable and eccentric characters, including the argumentative Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the eloquent Humpty Dumpty, and the formidable Red and White Queens, on a topsy-turvy quest to become a Queen herself. Carroll’s beloved sequel remains a masterpiece of literary nonsense, enchanting generations of readers with its clever wordplay, philosophical puzzles, and enduring charm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54814234116435,"sku":"5327","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260820_102526.jpg?v=1788256625","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/alice-through-the-looking-glass-lewis-carroll-arcturus-collectors-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
