Here we offer a marvelous set of facsimiles of the first editions of perhaps the most beloved children's books ever: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll, originally published in 1866 and 1872, respectively, by MacMillan and Company, London, and each densely illustrated with John Tenniel's now-iconic illustrations, here faithfully recreated by Alfred A. Knopf, New York, in 1983, including gilt-impressed red bindings and black endpapers, with gilt all the way around the text block (to keep dust out.)

As a very special bonus, included in the auction is a novelty: an 18th century pharmacy bottle with a "drink me" tag reproduced from the original John Tenniel "Alice" illustration. 

Books are as-new and seem unread.  192 and 224 pages respectively, plus a page of ads and a note on the facsimiles; the books measure approximately 7.5 x 5-inches.

This wonderful iconic set will make an wonderful addition to your collection or a very thoughtful gift.
