First edition, first printing. Of the fifteen poems here, ten have been reprinted from the serious portion of Phantasmagoria, three from Sylvie and Bruno, and two additional acrostic poems. The twelve engravings of “fairy-fancies” are wonderful but have little to do with the poems themselves. An interesting work of Carroll’s more melancholy poems.
