The Story of Sylvie and Bruno Lewis Carroll Vintage Children's Book Macmillan 1920's Antique

"This book pulled from the two volumes of 'Sylvie and Bruno' & 'Sylvie and Bruno Concluded' contains only the portions about the two fairy children (with the original illustrations) in the words of Lewis Carroll, without any extraneous matter. A few words only have in some places been added or altered, when absolutely necessary to dovetail the different paragraphs together, so as to make the 'story' one consecutive whole.

The humour in this book is so unique and fascinating, that 'The Story of Sylvie and Bruno' is likely to become as popular as the 'Alice' books by the same author."

"Thou delicious Fay -
The guardian of a sprite that lives to tease thee -
Loving in earnest, chiding in play
The merry mocking Bruno! Who sees thee,
Can fail to love thee, Darling, even as I ? -
My sweetest Sylvie, but we must say 'Goodbye ! ' "

This antique children's book by Lewis Carroll first published in 1904, is the 1926 (5th) reprint of that combined first edition.
