And my side-line as a greyhound tipster had been O.K. as well". :My best and biggest and most startling find of this trip has been to get in the flea market (some three miles ouitside Paris) forty-five copies of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, all in English, all dated 1885, all the 74th thousand, all red cloth, all done up with a bit of rope. A real mystery find, so utterly unexplainable. Why did forty-five copies of the same edition get together and stay together?". Frontis. by Ronald SEARLE (illustratore).
