ALICES OXFORD: PEOPLE AND PLACES/ INSPIRED WONDERLAND (HB)

Charles Dodgson (‘Lewis Carroll’) spent most of his life as an academic at Christ Church College in Oxford; his muse, Alice Liddell, was the daughter of the Dean. The ‘Alice’ books began as stories in which Dodgson incorporated local people, places, and events that the real Alice and her sisters would recognise. As the books grew, he included a much wider range of satire and caricature, until Oxford itself became an eccentric Wonderland. This book, a guide and a history, explores the hundreds of intricate connections between two worlds.
