Question & Answer Non Series #3

Q: Hello, I have attached a scan of the cover. I have tried to do some research on this version of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass but I have yet to come across this cover. It does say Henry Altemus Company on the inside so I can assume it is after 1900 but it looks different than the one published in the Little Men and Women Series #125. This book does not has a dust jacket and is in OK condition. I would really just like to learn a little more about this.

A: This version of Alice/Through was not part of a series.

You can see a copy with its jacket here http://henryaltemus.com/images/NS_3.jpg

This format is more uncommon than the Little Men and Women Series and the Young People’s Library (#202) Series Alice’s.

I believe it was published in the mid to late teens and then reprinted for a number of years thereafter.
