Works by Lewis Carroll.
SYLVIE AND BRUNO. First Part.
With forty-six Illustrations by Harry Furniss. 12mo, cloth extra, gilt, $1.50.
“A charming book for children. The illustrations are very happy.”—Boston Traveller.
“Alice was a delightful little girl, but hardly more pleasing than are the hero and heroine of this latest book from a writer in whose nonsense there is far more sense than in the serious works of many contemporary authors.”—Morning Post.
“Mr. Furniss’s illustrations, which are numerous, are at once graceful and full of humor. We pay him a high compliment when we say he proves himself a worthy successor to Mr. Tenniel in illustrating Mr. Lewis Carroll’s books.”—St. James’s Gazette.
“Bruno and Sylvie are wholly delightful creations, the Professor is worthy to rank with the immortal Pickwick, and there is an endless fund of enjoyment in the Gardener and his wonderful songs.... The pictures by Harry Furniss are incomparably good.”—Boston Beacon.
“Sylvie and Bruno is characterized by his peculiar and whimsical humor, his extravagant conceits, and the grotesqueness and inconsistency of plot, characters, and incidents in his stories.... It is a charming piece of work.”—New York Sun.
