Notes
"General Editor--R.L. Grœme Ritchie."
"This is a cleverly adapted and considerably shortened French version of ... Alice in Wonderland. Its inclusion in the 'Junior French Series' is due to our belief that the French form of a book created by and for the English mind has a peculiar utility for beginners of French. ... Only one artist, Sir John Tenniel, has ever realy illustrated 'Alice in Wonderland." We have therefore refrained from asking any other to interfere with the pictorial conceptions of Alice and her friends made immortal by Lewis Carroll's artistic collaborator"--Note by the general editor (page ii).
Vocabulary (pages 65-96).
"Printed in Great Britain at the Press of the Publishers"--Page 96.
Library's copy housed in 1/4 red morocco over cloth slipcase with matching cloth chemise.
