The Alice Behind Wonderland
In The Alice Behind Wonderland, Simon Winchester uses a famous photograph of Alice Liddell as the springboard for a wildly inventive look at the inspiration behind one of the greatest classics of children’s literature. Winchester shows us how photography inspired author Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) as he became one of the world’s most beloved observers of childhood.
Like the fictional Alice’s world, the photograph becomes “curiouser and curiouser” the more one examines it. “Alice Liddell as The Beggar Maid” was the muse that would eventually inspire Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Rife with Dodgson’s writings, diaries and photographs, this is the poignant and remarkable story of the making of the legendary Alice.
