Sylvie and Bruno 1889 is a novel by Lewis Carroll. Originally conceived as a pair of short stories published in Aunt Judys Magazine in 1867 Sylvie and Bruno eventually became a full length twovolume novel. Although less popular than his Alice books the novel remains a powerful example of Carrolls imaginative range and ability to capture the surreal nature of everyday life. The Warden a tall dignified man with a grave but very pleasant face was seated before a writingtable which was covered with papers and holding on his knee one of the sweetest and loveliest little maidens it has ever been my lot to see. She looked four or five years older than Bruno but she had the same rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes and the same wealth of curly brown hair. While traveling by train to a longoverdue doctors appointment a middleaged historian slips in and out of sleep. Each time he enters a dream world where fairies and elves go about their lives without noticing his presence. Gradually he becomes aware of a plot to overthrow the Warden orchestrated by SubWarden Sibimet and his wife Tabikat. Tricked into giving the SubWarden dictatorial powers the Warden embarks to serve as Monarch of Fairyland. Soon a Mad Gardener arrives and directs Sylvie and Bruno to follow him to a bizarre underground lair.Since our inception in 2020 Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
