Inscribed on half title: "Mona Kidston from the author with affte regards. Dec 7/83."

In 1871 Carroll visited the Paton family on Scotland's west coast and met Mona, with whom he developed a longstanding acquaintance. She would go on to become an author, publishing her retellings of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Jack the Giantkiller" in Two Old Tales Retold (Edinburgh: Banks & Co., 1889). Octavo. Half title, frontispiece. Olive green cloth stamped in gilt (spine a touch darkened, some minor soiling and rippling to cloth, hinges cracked with a couple gatherings slightly sprung).
