Did you know there is an Alice in Wonderland Day?
Alice in Wonderland Day is meant to commemorate the July day that Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (pseudonym Lewis Carroll) first told this story to Alice Liddell and set off the chain of events that led to the classic we know and love today. If you have never read Alice in Wonderland in it's entirety, check it out from the library today! If you have read it and loved it, consider checking out The Story of Alice: Lewis Carroll and the Secret History of Wonderland. This book delves into the friendship between the author and the child, Alice Liddell, for whom he invented the Alice stories and analyzes how this relationship stirred Carroll's imagination and influenced the creation of Wonderland. It also explains why Alice in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871), took on an unstoppable cultural momentum in the Victorian era and why, a century and a half later, they continue to enthrall and delight readers of all ages.
Go down the rabbit hole and let the adventure begin.
