First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Illustrated by Mervyn Peake (illustrator). First Edition Thus; First Printing. This is the First UK HARDBACK printing published by Allan Wingate, London in 1954. This was the first UK printing of the book in hardback, as opposed to the soft covered edition printed earlier in 1946 by Zephyr Books, Stockholm & London, which was the first edition illustrated by Peake in the english language. This Hardback BOOK is in blue cloth with gilt titling/gilt illustration to the spine, with a little dulling to the gilt on the spine, and some light edge fading to the covers, but overall near VG, tight, clean and sound. The DUST-JACKET is only in a fair condition with some loss, some fading, marks, creasing and sunning to the spine. However the d/j is now in a new protective clear - removable - bookfilm plastic cover and looks a little better, and the Mervyn Peake d/j artwork is striking, so nice to have it in some form, even in a poor version. The page fore-edges are very lightly toned but uniform. Internally, some VERY light offsetting to the endpapers, but the text block is overall very clean and tight, but page183/4 has been folded over (for a long time I would guess) and has a crease line running down the page(s) and some 'invisible' archive tape over a tear at the bottom margin/inner gutter of the page, but not affecting the text, otherwise NO Inscriptions or other marks I can see. (viii) + 264 pp. A full page b/w frontispiece - 65 illustrations in total throughout - all by Mervyn Peake, including a vignette in red on the title page. A Very Scarce title. SEE IMAGES. ; 8vo 7.5" - 8" tall.

First Mervyn Peake illustrated edition. Original grey pictorial card covers printed in blue and red, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with line drawings by Mervyn Peake throughout. A superb near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a little rubbing to the spine tips and some minimal wear to edges and corners. The contents, with a few very tiny spots to the text block edges and a little dustiness to the bottom corner of the text block, are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper, the lettering to the lightly toned spine moderately faded. A lovely copy. A beautiful example of the first Mervyn Peake illustrated edition preceding the UK Alan Wingate issued edition by eight years. Upon publication of this edition, Frances Sarzano, biographer of John Tenniel, wrote that "[e]ven Tenniel-charmed eyes should be captivated by the unfamiliar Walrus and the Carpenter, by the Sorry White Knight (who pleads for a Peake 'Don Quixote'), by the Mad Hatter and the Duchess's choleric child, but sadly enough, it will be at least two years [as stated above, it was eight] before this Peake Alice can be published in England, owing to the artist's contracts with English publishers."
