The book: Scarce and attractive second printing of the First "miniature edition" of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The miniature editions published in 1907 (Alice) and 1908 (Looking Glass) is similarly appealing as they followed the same design style of covers to the original editions, just smaller.

The author: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, which includes the poem "Jabberwocky", and the poem The Hunting of the Snark – all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic and fantasy. There are societies in many parts of the world dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life.
