Minor creasing to wraps. Text and illustrations by Tenniel & Maybank throughout. Early Gregg Shorthand edition of Alice, with shorthand plates created originally in 1915 by Georgie Gregg Gingell.

It will not play them in any other order. If you want to have any tune repeated, you must move the knob, to make it repeat, before finishing the tune. If you wait till the end of the tune and then move it, the box will go on to the next tune. Believe me always yours affectionately. C. L. Dodgson.".
