As for shipping costs, Ebay will not allow more than four dollars to be charged for any one LP. However, they don't realize or make allowances for a 4 LP set. I believe the media mail shipping cost for 4 LP's would be around $10.00 for domestic mailing. Estimated shipping to Canada is around $25.00. Estimated shipping to Europe is around $40.00. In any event, you are responsible for the actual cost of shipping. If the shipping cost is less than what is estimated, you will receive the overage. If the shipping cost is more, I will ask for the difference before shipping.
"It all really happened that way, and the afternoon itself---July 4, 1862---Carroll remembered as the most golden and beautiful he had ever known, with a brilliant blue sky and pale green willows hanging over a stream. He was just thirty at the time and a mathematics professor at Oxford. Thus began the story of ALICE IN WONDERLAND... Carroll poured into the book all thatwas himself, allhis interests---his loves, his ideals. Mathematics, his greatest love, showed up as nonsense--- but with nonsense with a particular sort of reason behind it. Alice's 'four times five are twelve, four times six are thirteen' is a legitimate reference to the eighteen( or twice nine) system of numbers. Many of the characters are drawn from life itself.; some from people involved in the the great Church controversy raging in Oxford at the time.In short, the book became an expression of the man's soul, and in presenting it to Alice Liddell, he offered himself to her. But with a mature respect for reality, he recognized the whole thing as fantasy and saw, even when the book was barely finished, the golden afternoons fading into memory and lovely Alice of the dark hair and bright eyes fading into memory too. He could only ask of her that she not forget those childhood dreams, the twining of fantasy and delightful reality, but save and treasure them---'Like pilgrims' withered wreath of flowers, plucked in a far off land.'"
