Alice slips out of her famous storybook into our world for a Christmas adventure, in a warm holiday fantasy penned as a gift for friends.

Vincent Starrett's 1919 privately-printed booklet is a charming Christmas fantasy. Whimsical, affectionate, rare. Read it for a delightful literary keepsake by the noted bibliophile and Sherlockian, a genial holiday conceit that frees Lewis Carroll's Alice for a seasonal escapade, a small, heartfelt gift-book treasure of the fantasy of its era.
