[London]: Telegraph Sunday Magazine, [1977]. [London]: Telegraph Sunday Magazine. [1977]. An article by Morton Cohen about the discovery of the galleys for "A Wasp in a Wig," a story deleted from Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, and missing for more than 100 years, until appearing at auction in 1974. This article is the first published appearance of the galleys for a general audience (just ahead of a limited edition issued by The Lewis Carroll Society of America the same month). Reportedly, the episode had been dropped at the request of the illustrator John Tenniel, who thought drawing the character to be "altogether beyond the appliances of art." The task is completed here by Ralph Steadman. Five pages, taken from the Telegraph: Sunday Magazine, September 4, 1977. Folded in fourths; near fine. Laid into a 1966 Nonesuch Press reprint edition of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass. Unless otherwise noted, our first editions are first printings. First Edition. No Binding.

Overall, a tight and lovely copy.Through the Looking-Glass is Lewis Carroll's sequel to his popular children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). In this story, which represents the child protagonist's journey from adolescence to adulthood, Alice ventures into a fantasy world through the mirror above her fireplace. Throughout the novel, Carroll includes nonsense poetry, including the playful and popular "Jabberwocky." Like Alice, Through the Looking-Glass is illustrated by John Tenniel. Carroll originally intended to write this sequel as early as 1866, but had trouble persuading Tenniel to illustrate it. Writer and artist had a somewhat volatile relationship because of their mutual perfectionism: just as the true first edition of Alice was suppressed because of unsatisfactory illustrations, Through the Looking-Glass's illustrations were heavily edited. Tenniel demanded the removal of a character that was too difficult to illustrate, whereas Carroll replaced Tenniel's "Jabberwock" plate with an image of the White Knight, which was less frightening, as a frontispiece.. Hard Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Tenniel, John. [Attributes: First Edition]
