Description

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are two of the most famous books in the world, with a worldwide phenomenon that has captivated readers for generations. Originally told by Charles Dodgson to Alice Liddell, the books have become a cultural touchstone, inspiring countless adaptations and interpretations. Peter Hunt explores the historical sources of the books' multilayered in-jokes and satire, situating them in the history of children's literature and uncovering the local and personal references that the real Alice would have understood. The Making of Lewis Carroll's Alice and the Invention of Wonderland reveals the fascinating story behind these beloved stories, illustrated with manuscripts, portraits, and original line drawings.
