Priklyucheniia Alisy v strane chudes. Skazka, rasakazannaia Boris Zakhoderom. [Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, as told to you by Boris Zakhoder].

by CARROLL, Lewis (pseud. DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge); KALINOVSKIY, Gennadiy (illustrator).
Moscow Detskaia Literatura, 1974. First edition; 4to (22 x 17 cm); illustrated throughout with some full-page; publisher's original pictorial boards, a very good copy. A wonderful translation with beautiful illustrations of one of the most popular children's stories of all time. Zakhoder's version was hugely popular in the Soviet era and is still one of the standard Russian translations. As well as translating directly from the original text, he also added new content to make it easier for Russian children to understand. Zakhoder did publish his own works for children but he was mainly celebrated (and awarded the Russian state prize) for his translations which also included Winnie-the-Pooh and Mary Poppins.

Snarkjakten.

Snarkjakten.

by JANSSON, Tove (illustrates). CARROLL, Lewis.
Bonniers, Stockholm, 1959. First edition with these illustrations. Translated into Swedish by Lars Forssell and Ake Runnquist. Octavo. 55 pages. Cover design in black and green, 8 full-page and many other smaller black-and-white illustrations by Tove Jansson. Original wrappers.Jansson's strange and inspired illustrations for The Hunting of Snark match perfectly the imaginative flight of the poem. She was approached by the Swedish translators who correctly divined that the poem would appeal to the creator of the Moomin books. The Snark is nowhere portrayed and in her essay The Deceitful Children's Author (1961) Jansson writes, "Wouldn't it almost be a crime to depict the Snark's terrible and ineffable face whose sight causes immediate dissolution into nothingness?" The illustrations had been forgotten for over fifty years, and in fact this is the only Swedish edition, until they were recently given a fresh lease of life in an English edition of the poem. Ownership signature inside upper cover. Edges a little creased. Near fine. Scarce. [Attributes: First Edition; Soft Cover]

"Late in life Dodgson published Sylvie and Bruno (1889) and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893), two long, complicated novels depicting three realms of being. Essentially love stories, they contain some imaginative flights that sparkle, but, where Dodgson in the Alice books eschewed any moral lesson, here he set himself a mission to edify and instruct, suggesting 'some thoughts that may prove... not wholly out of harmony with the graver cadences of Life' (Preface, Sylvie and Bruno, xiii)" (ODNB). Two vols, octavo (189 x 134 mm). Finely bound by Bayntun Riviere (Bath) in red polished calf, titles in gilt to dark pink and brown morocco labels to spine, richly gilt compartments, raised bands tooled in gilt, double ruled gilt borders to covers, board edges and turn-ins gilt, marbled endpapers, edges gilt.

by Carroll, Lewis and Themerson, Franciszka (Illus.)
The sole UK printing published by The Inky Parrot Press, UK in 2001. Number 'X1' of only 'XLV111' copies. There were also 372 ordinary copies bound in cloth. The book is in Fine condition and bound by The Fine Bindery in quarter leather with gilt titling and decorated boards as issued. With 57 illustrations by Franciszka Themerson. Foreword by Jasia Reichardt and an Afterword by Graham Ovenden. This copy is signed by Jasia Reichardt to the limitation page. Housed in the printed card slipcase which is in near Fine condition. A paper portfolio of 8 B/W prints by Franciszka Themerson with an index page is housed in a blue paper portfolio, the whole housed in the slipcase. The prints do not appear in the book. According to the prospectus, it appears that the intention was that there were going to be 6 prints initialled and numbered (presumably by Jasia Reichardt, Themerson's niece : Themerson had died in 1988). . However, on the actual book limitation page, it only mentions ' 48 copies have an additional set of prints'. It was not unusual for the final publication to be different from the prospectus description with The Inky Parrot Press. Loosely inserted is the four page Prospectus which is in near Fine condition. The Prospectus details the history of these illustrations for this title which up until this publication, remained unpublished. Franciszka Themerson is represented at the Tate Museum, London. Very scarce with such attributes. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]
