This is the original version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, the pen-name of Charles Dodgson, an Oxford mathematician. It is called "Alice's Adventures Underground" and it is a treasure of the British Library. The book is in their online gallery and you can look at each hand-written, hand-drawn page (all 91 pages).

Love it! Thank you so much for a great link.
I have an old book 'The Complete Works of Lewis Carrol' published 1988 by Penguin books (first edition by Nonesuch Press 1939).
The pages are so yellow... watching the original pages online is amazing!
