A couple of corrections, though: Alice Liddell was ten when the picnic and boating trip during which Charles Dodgson told her and her sisters the story which became Alice's Adventures in Wonderland took place, not four. And the text of the facsimile edition doesn't look handwritten, it is handwritten, by Charles Dodgson, who also drew the illustrations. It's a facsimile of the manuscript Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which Dodgson gave Alice Liddell as a Christmas gift the year before the book was published.Karen Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310967522076681423noreply@blogger.com
