During the mid-20th century, beautifully bound retrospective anthologies allowed readers to revisit Victorian literature through an academic lens. Roger Lancelyn Green, a prominent biographer and member of the Inklings literary circle alongside C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, provided invaluable historical context to these editions. Paired with John Tenniel's definitive wood engraving illustrations from the original 1865 publication, this edition bridges the gap between classic Victorian fantasy and mid-century book collecting.
