Welcome to our book discussion about the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Here's a bit of history about the book: In early July 1862, writer Charles Dodgson and a friend of his went rowing down the River Thames along with three little girls: Lorina, Alice, and Edith Liddell. Over the five-mile journey, Dodgson spun a fantastical tale to entertain the girls, doubtlessly earning starry eyes.
The young Alice herself pleaded with Dodgson to write it down for her, and so he began his very first manuscript the day afterward. A month later, they set on the river again, and he and the girls had the chance to expand on the story of Alice’s Adventures. The book was first published in 1865. It has never gone out of print.
Did you read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as a child? Or as an adult? If as a child, how old were you?
Which character did you most relate too then? Is it the same character now?
