A propos de cet article

First editions; 2 vols, 8vo (190 x 140 mm); each title with 46 illustrations by Harry Furniss, the odd, minor, marginal spot but otherwise near fine internally; publisher's red cloth, triple gilt-panelled, gilt vignettes, dark blue endpapers and all edges gilt. spotting to secondary endpapers and half-title, minor bumping to spine-ends, otherwise also near-fine These were the last books published during Carroll's lifetime and his last story for children. It evolved from his short story, Bruno's Revenge, published in 1867, in Aunt Judy's Magazine Containing a lot of banter between the titular siblings, the complex story operates on two parallel levels, one realistic and didactic and the other, dreamlike and fantastic. It includes elements of fairy tales (Sylvie and Bruno are fairy children bent on doing good works and saving a throne), discussing concepts such as religion, society, philosophy, morality and espousing social reform.
