This review is from: The real Alice: Lewis Carroll's dream child (Hardcover)

"The Real Alice" is an exhaustive history of Alice Liddell and her family, encompassing her entire life and times, and including her friendship with Rev. Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), her later marriage and sons, and her final years, when she was celebrated as "the real Alice in Wonderland". The genesis and evolution of Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is meticulously presented, and her relationship with Dodgson is objectively detailed with great fidelity to the known facts and without undue speculation. Alice is brought to life with such intimacy that, by the end, you feel that you know as much about her as it is possible to know, and have a deep affection for her. The book is loaded with b&w photographs, and inside the front and back covers are diagrams of her parents' family trees. It is the most complete and memorable story of Alice I have ever read.
