“Alice in Wonderland” is without a doubt one of the best-loved stories ever written for children and I think it was written for adults too. Whether you read it as a child or as an adult you can’t help but be impressed by the story-line, the illustrations, the memorable quotes, and the life lessons. If you have watched an animated version or a movie adaptation, were you not entertained? From the book written by Lewis Carroll, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865), to the animated version created by Walt Disney (1951), to the fantasy adventure directed by Tim Burton (2010), everybody loves “Alice in Wonderland”. Other than Alice, the main character, do you have a favorite character in this delightful tale? Mine is the Cheshire cat.
FUN FACT: The inspiration for the story “Alice in Wonderland” is a real little girl named Alice Pleasance Liddell. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) was a friend of this young girl’s parents. Mr. Dodgson took the girls on an outing and in order to entertain them he told them a story. Alice loved the story so much she begged him to write it down. Read the story behind the story: “1858-1872~ The real Alice in Wonderland”.
