Lewis Carroll's novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass have entertained readers young and old for more than a century. Their magical worlds, amusing characters, and playfully logical illogic epitomize the wit and whimsy of Carroll's writing. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Other Classic Works collects both of the Alice novels, each featuring the classic illustrations of John Tenniel. In addition, this volume features the novels Sylvie and Bruno and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, the classic nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark, and the full contents of the poetry collection Phantasmagoria--all timeless works that reflect the cleverness and ingenuity that were Carroll's unique gifts.

Paradise Lost by John Milton, printed by The Easton Press in 1976. The following is from the listing on the Easton Press website:
- Fully bound in genuine leather.
- 22kt gold deeply inlaid on the “hubbed” spine.
- Superbly printed on acid-neutral paper that lasts for generations.
- Sewn pages – not just glued like ordinary books.
- Satin-ribbon page marker.
- Gilded page ends.
- Bound in the USA. Imported materials.
- Rigorous inspection at every stage ensures adherence to our exacting standards.
- Superb craftsmanship and commitment to quality.

The cover is an orangey brown. There is fading on and around the spine from sun damage. It is very difficult to photograph, but the leather fades to a lighter brown near the spine and on the spine itself. There is some scratching on the gilded edge of the pages, and it has collected dust along the top pages near the ribbon from sitting on a shelf. I have not tried to clean it as I didn't want to damage the pages. There is a book plate stuck in the pages that has left a shadow (see photos). There are also a few pages that have staining near the spine. It almost looks like water damage but isn't consistent through the pages to be that. It is not perfect, but is still in really great shape and would be the perfect addition to any personal library! #eastonpress #classic #classics #hardback #fiction #vintage

Dante. Alighieri

Beautiful hardcover book with the classic illustrations 

Long narrative poem originally titled Commedia (about 1555 printed as La divina commedia) written about 1310-14 by Dante. The work is divided into three major sections--Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso--which trace the journey of a man from darkness and error to the revelation of the divine light, culminating in the beatific vision of God. It is usually held to be one of the world's greatest works of literature. The plot of The Divine Comedy is simple: a man is miraculously enabled to visit the souls in Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. He has two guides: Virgil, who leads him through the Inferno and Purgatorio, and Beatrice, who introduces him to Paradiso. Through these fictional encounters taking place from Good Friday evening in 1300 through Easter Sunday and slightly beyond, Dante the character learns of the exile that is awaiting him (an actual exile that had already occurred at the time of writing). This device allowed Dante not only to create a story out of his exile but also to explain how he came to cope with personal calamity and to offer suggestions for the resolution of Italy's troubles as well.

Black Beauty

#hardcover #DHLawrence #classic #bannedbooks The classic novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned for obscenity in the United States in 1929. Lawrence argues for individual regeneration, which can be found only through the relationship between man and woman (and, he sometimes asserts, man and man). Love and personal relationships is the theme of this, once highly contested novel. First American Edition stated inside, however this is a reprint from Grosset and Dunlap with its original unpriced jacket. One of the Madison Square issues. The spine of the jacket is faded and chipped with a tear at the top front. Black boards with blue lettering; a very decent copy. Innside pages yellowed but not brittle. Previous owner’s name inscribed on inside front.
