Who HQ brings you the stories behind the most beloved characters of our time. Find out how Alice in Wonderland became a children's classic. Published in 1865 by British author Lewis Carroll, this fantasy adventure story introduced the world to Alice and introduced Alice to some very strange but beloved creatures, including The White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and The Queen of Hearts. This silly tale that started out as a collection of stories written for one little girl became so popular that even Queen Victoria, the British monarch, couldn't put it down! Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles L. Dodgson, went on to write several sequels and other books, but Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking-Glass are by far his most famous stories. Author Dana Meachen Rau takes readers through the book's history--from Carroll's initial inspiration--Alice Liddell--all the way to the movies, plays, and other adaptations that are entertaining fans today.

Together Lewis Carroll and his Alice have been eulogised, criticised, psychoanalysed. Their phantasmagoric dreamworld has fired the imaginations and fed the minds of poets, philosophers, musicians and artists the world over -- they have proved inspirational to creators as James Joyce, Lennon and McCartney, W.H. Auden, Walter de la Mare, Arthur Rackham and Salvador Dali. Now, for the first time, Alice Liddell is the subject of a major biography. Immaculately researched and enhanced by 150 fine illustrations, many of them previously unpublished or rare, The Real Alice sheds a fascinating new light on the person who was Lewis Carroll's dream-child and will give pleasure both as a biography and as an addition to the wealth of Carrolliana already in existence.
