Alice Goes Underground

ALICE'S ADVENTURES UNDERGROUND, a facsimile reproduction of Lewis Carroll's original hand-writtenmanuscript, has now sold out. The story that would later become Alice inWonderland began in 1862, when Rev Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - otherwise knownas Lewis Carroll - told the magical tale to a ten year old Alice Liddell. Sheinsisted that he wrote it down for her, and received the bound and illustratedmanuscript as a present two years later.

'What a nuisance I must have made of myself! Still, I amglad I did it now; and so was Mr Dodgson afterwards.' - Alice Liddell (fromthe introduction)
