STORY OF ALICE: LEWIS CARROLL AND WONDERLAND

The definitive biography of Lewis Carroll, his child-muse Alice Liddell, and the creation of Alice in Wonderland which is part of our cultural heritage. But beneath the fairy tale lies the complex history of the author and his subject. Charles Dodgson was a quiet academic but his second self, Lewis Carroll, was a storyteller, innovator and avid collector of 'child-friends'. Carroll's imagination was to give Alice Liddell, his 'dream-child', a fictional alter ego that would never let her grow up. This is a history of love and loss, innocence and ambiguity. It is the story of one man's need to make a Wonderland in a changing world.
