Alice
23 May, 2007
In a world of dreams and imagination, one is never far from the drawing power of ‘Alice’. The original manuscript of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, hand-written by mathematician and pioneer photographer Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) between 1862 and 1864 for Alice Liddell is available for viewing online via the British Library website.
It has since become one of the most popular of all children’s books.

Alice photos are always mesmerizing! Do you know this book – Looking Glass Wars – a kids book by an american author – the story based on the Alice mythology. I’ve not read it but it’s on my to-do list.

O love all the Alice photgraph’s here…Except for one. Alice in the blue satin dress in the house…Because, Alice is so untouched to me, and that girl looks like a little Lolita. But that is mine own issue….hee heee xxxo
