“Sylvie and Bruno, Concluded”
“Sylvie and Bruno, Concluded” by Lewis Carroll With Forty Six Illustrations by Harry Furniss was published in London by Macmillan & Co. in 1893. This First Edition copy of the book, which measures approximately 5 x 7 ¼ inches, is bound in the original red cloth boards with gilt lettering and decoration. The pages are also gilt edged. There are xxxi preliminary pages, containing such things as a frontispiece, title page, a 15 page preface dated Christmas 1893, a table of Contents, and a list of Illustrations for both the first and current Volumes of the story. There is an error in the table of Contents in which In a Shady Place is shown to start on page 110 instead of page 113, and a similar error in the list of illustrations with The Blue Locket listed on page 405 instead of page 404. The story is contained in 423 pages. Following the story is a five-page listing of works by Lewis Carroll, including a facsimile of an original manuscript page from Alice’s Adventures Underground. An advertisement by Lewis Carroll, dated Christmas 1893, is inserted in the book and expresses his disappointment with the quality of one of the printings of Through the Looking Glass and requests the purchasers to return their copy for replacement with the next printing.
Sylvie and Bruno, first published in 1889, and this second volume, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded published in 1893, form the last novel by Lewis Carroll published during his lifetime. The novel has two main plots: one set in the real world at the time the book was published (the Victorian era), the other in the fantasy world of Fairyland. While the latter plot is a fairy tale with many nonsense elements and poems, similar to Carroll's Alice books, the story set in Victorian Britain is a social novel, with its characters discussing various concepts and aspects of religion, society, philosophy and morality.

The book is complete in all respects. There is some clipping on the edge of the black front free endpaper, but otherwise the book is in very good condition. The illustrations accompanying this description show the front cover of the book, the Frontispiece, Title page, and two 2-page spreads of text and illustrations.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, which includes the poem Jabberwocky, and the poem The Hunting of the Snark, all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy. [Wikipedia]
