Alice in Waterland

A world-famous Oxford story from a new angle: the essential role played by the River Thames in the creation of `Alice`s Adventures in Wonderland` and `Through the Looking-Glass`. It was on rowing trips with Alice Liddell and her sisters that Lewis Carroll (the Oxford don Charles Dodgson) invented many of the tales which were later incorporated into the books; it was on the riverbank on 4 July 1862 that Wonderland had its birth; and it was from particular incidents on or near the Thames that Carroll drew inspiration for some well-known episodes. Combining excerpts from Carroll`s diaries and the `Alice` books with contemporary images, memoirs, and fiction, `Alice in Waterland` sets the Oxford scene of the time (including the burgeoning Pre-Raphaelite movement) and sheds new light on the real individuals who inspired characters such as the Hatter, the Sheep, and the Red Queen. The book takes the reader on a literary journey of discovery along almost ten miles of the Thames near Oxford, in the company of the `merry crew` of Lewis Carroll, Alice, and her sisters on the scenic and lively river of which they were all so fond.
