All Us Through the Magnifying Glass by B. Leslie Barker.
Tenniel illustrations.
Published in 1955, W. Ruddock & Sons Ltd.
This is a pre-publication copy as far as I can make out: there’s a note inside the front cover that says
‘Leslie from Leslie. not for publication until the executive permit 20.12.54’
Rather than a book, this is a pamphlet written as a tribute to the Philatelic Congress of Great Britain.
There’s even one of my favourite things- a Jabberwocky parody:
‘Twas Congress, and the quarter perfs
Did gyre and gimble on the gauge:
All braisil were the oeil de boeufs,
And bomba heads outrage
Alice’s name has been changed to Aniline, but several of the other characters are there. A fun little thing.
