Condition Report: Fine. This volume approaches the condition of a newly published book, exhibiting virtually no defects or wear. The pictorial boards are exceptionally bright and clean, completely free from any rubbing, bumping, or shelf-wear. The binding remains tightly bound and square, with remarkably sharp corners and crisp head and tail bands. Internally, the text block is immaculate; the page edges are brilliant, unblemished, and entirely free of foxing or handling marks. The matching dust wrapper is perfectly preserved, showing zero signs of fading, chipping, or creasing, and features the original "150 Years" promotional graphic printed directly on the front. Overall, an exceptional, collector-quality copy.

Catalogue Note: First edition, first printing of this specific illustrated edition.

The text is vividly brought to life by acclaimed, award-winning artist Chris Riddell, functioning as a much-anticipated companion piece to his critically acclaimed edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

While standard modern editions of this title are widely circulated, a true first printing of Riddell's illustrated interpretation in flawless condition is increasingly sought after by dedicated Carroll collectors. There is no previous ownership provenance, bookplates, or secondary markings present within this copy.

Lewis Carroll's legendary sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland continues to captivate readers more than 150 years after Alice first made her appearance. In this fantastical adventure, Alice steps through the looking-glass and encounters a bizarre and unforgettable cast of characters, including the imperious Red Queen, the contrary Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and the precarious Humpty Dumpty. Lavishly illustrated by award-winner Chris Riddell, this edition reinvigorates Carroll's beloved classic, making it a delightful and memorable visual feast for both new explorers and lifelong fans.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
