Sylvie and Bruno concluded

London: Macmillan & Co, 1893. FIRST EDITION. With 46 illustrations by Harry Furniss. Original red cloth with a small circular gilt decoration on the both boards. A fine and bright copy in the original green/grey dust jacket. From the library of Caryl Liddell Hargreaves (1887-1955), the third son of the original “Alice” (and the only one to survive, his two older brothers having been killed in World War I). (Alice always denied that her son’s name was associated with Charles Dodgson’s pseudonym, but who truly knows!). First edition, first issue with the errors as indicated in WMG. The second part, competing Sylvie and Bruno which was first published in 1889. The stories are continuations of those in the first book, though not quite as serious (politically or socially) as Carroll originally wrote (although “the social situations are as Victorian as ever”). “The preface is of great interest, for Dodgson defines the limitations under which he conceives of fairies, their powers and forms, and of psychical states of human beings, showing how carefully chastened his apparently riotous imagination was.”
