The Other Alice in Wonderland The True Story of Alice Liddell First Edition Vintage book

"On July 4 1862, Charles Dodgson took his neigbour Alice Liddell on a picnic and told her a story that later became a book called 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.'' (Which he published under the name Lewis Carroll).

Mr Dodgson taught mathematics at Christ Church at Oxford University in England. He was a shy man, but he always felt comfortable with children, whom he got to know by photographing them. Alice was the child friend he liked best of all. Her favourite words were 'Let's pretend' so they were a good match.

The Other Alice, lets readers imagine what it must have been like to be a child in Victorian England and to know a man as unusual as Mr. Dodgson. And anyone wha has read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland will find lots of things that are familiar in Alice's world.

Illustrated with photographs by Mr. Dodgson and full colour paintings , The Other Alice also offers instructions for some of Mr. Dodgson's favourite games, including how to make a handkerchief rabbit and how to count with cakes. "
