Signed book: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Limited edition of 1500 copies (this being number 33). NY: Limited Editions Club, 1932. Hardcover, 6 x 9, 183 pages. Signed on a front blank page in black ink, “Alice Hargreaves” (her married name). Toning and staining to first free end page and front pastedown (presumably from a previous bookplate), light foxing to back pastedown, and wear, rubbing, and sunning to spine, otherwise fine condition. In 1862, while in a rowboat with Charles Dodgson, the then ten year old Alice asked him to entertain her and her sisters with a story. He regaled the girls with fantastic stories of a girl, named Alice, and her adventures after she fell into a rabbit-hole. He later decided to re-write the story as a commercial venture, and in 1865, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was published. A scarce offering from one of literature’s most beloved child characters.
