FOLIO SOCIETY ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND SIGNED van Sandwyk Carroll NEW

Description: Folio Society – ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND [Signed Copy] This exclusive collector’s edition, limited to just 200 copies, bears the signature of the internationally acclaimed Canadian artist, Charles van Sandwyk. Each copy is signed on a specially-commissioned four-colour illustrated bookplate, unique to this edition. Lewis Carroll’s extraordinary dream of a world – or world of a dream – has seeped into our collective consciousness like few other books. Filled with outlandish creatures and quizzical conversations, its apparent nonsense is underpinned by its own logic, which surely makes it the most imaginative tale ever written. Widely adapted, it has also been translated into 176 languages, including Cockney, Middle Breton and three languages of Zimbabwe. Tinted title pages and a spectacular binding design reflect the magic of Carroll’s incomparable story, while Charles van Sandwyk’s series of charming colour plates and black-and-white drawings neatly capture its many iconic characters. Van Sandwyk has signed a specially commissioned four-colour illustrated book plate for this collector's edition.

Always feel free to ask or if purchases require immediate payment I will refund any difference. All items must be sent to the address stipulated during the payment process. All items are sent via recorded delivery unless they are of little monetary value. Virtually all my items are available through the global shipping program (GSP) to designated countries outside the UK. Please note I have no control over international postage costs. I do not set these, eBay's GSP does, I send the items to an address in the UK and am not even aware of the country for which they are destined. Items purchased through the GSP must be sent via the GSP shipping centre. For multiple purchases, I cannot combine postage after items are purchased but if you contact me before buying I can try combining multiple items into a single listing which is usually less expensive. Please ask any questions before buying
