St Marys Books is incredibly proud to present this first UK edition of The Nursery Alice signed by the author Lewis Carroll This copy which is in remarkably fresh condition was one of 100 copies Carroll personally presented to his friends and recorded in his notebook This second overall edition first UK edition copy has never until now been on the market It has been wellpreserved and privately owned by the relatives of Mabel Amy Burton to whom the book was originally gifted and whose picture is here attached This book comes alongside a fascinating collection of four letters written by CL Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll and addressed to Mabel Lewis Carroll first met Mabel Amy Burton on 16 August 1877 noting on the diary Went on the pier in the evening and made another fortunate acquaintance my new friend is Mabel Amy Burton of 53 Pentonville Road Islington She seems to be about 8 Mabel herself is entirely charming and without an atom of shyness I never became friends with a child so easily or so quickly Though their friendship ended as Mabel grew these examples of correspondence provide precious insight into both Carrolls relationships and in the case of letter no 4 of how his taste for nonsense and the absurd permeated his real life as well as his work Revisiting letter no 4 were gifted a particularly valuable passage What is your idea of smallness I wonder And how do you distinguish it from largeness Do you call an elephant smallacirceuro for instance And do you call this a long letter Of course we are reminded of Alices adventures and her bizarre physical changes This fine example of Lewis Carrolls work grounded in the context of his personal relationships and worldview is looking for a new home where it will be similarly enjoyed appreciated and preservednbsp nbsp.…
