"Turning Pages" from the British Library (reposting because this is so wonderful)

The British Library has digitized a selection of rare books and posted them in their trademark "Turning the Pages" system. Have you always wanted to see Lewis Carroll's original hand-written story, given to his friend Alice Liddell as a Christmas gift in 1864?



This beautiful website allows us to peruse this volume as well as The Luttrell Psalter (c. 1330), and  notebooks of Leonardo, Mozart, and Jane Austen.  There are 23 volumes so far.
