Book
Linley Sambourne (illustrator). Octavo, illustrations by Linley Sambourne, boards. Later edition. Classic posthumous fantasy first published in 1863 and in this edition illustrated by Linley Sambourne in 1928. An "immensely influential" book that "ushered in the Golden Age of children's fantasy . Despite the strong moral overtones, this was written more for entertainment than instruction and was the first modern English children's fantasy novel which did not draw from folklore roots. It was because of this book's success that Macmillan published Lewis Carroll's ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1865), urged on by recommendations from George MacDonald, a friend of Kingsley's and a fellow Christian reformer." - Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), p. 540. Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 2-98. Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature V, pp. 2074-2078. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, Additions. Waggoner, The Hills of Faraway 521. Osborne Collection, p. 359. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#161408).
