Publisher's summary

Eleven-year-old actor Eden Giuliano presents a brand new line of exciting children’s stories from Icon!

This is the handwritten book that Carroll wrote for private use before being urged to develop it later into Alice in Wonderland. When a sick child in a hospital enjoyed it so much, the mother wrote him saying it had distracted her for a bit from her pain and led eventually to Carroll expanding the story.

The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat on July 4, 1862, up the Isis with the three young daughters of Henry Liddell, (the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church): Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849); Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852); Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853). The journey began at Folly Bridge near Oxford and ended five miles away in the village of Godstow. During the trip, the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He began writing the manuscript of the story the next day, although that earliest version no longer exists. The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a month later when he elaborated the plot to the story of Alice, and in November he began working on the manuscript in earnest.

Abysmal narration

When I listened to the sample, the child’s voice was clear and interesting. But the actual narration must have been someone different because the voice was deeply twangy and totally lacked expression.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
