TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE

RANDOM TIDBITS
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was written in 1865 by
English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym
Lewis Carroll.
***
Most of the book's adventures were based on and influenced
by people, situations and buildings in Oxford and at Christ
Church, e.g., the "Rabbit Hole" which symbolized the actual
stairs in the back of the main hall in Christ Church.
***
Dodgson wrote the classic story for Alice Liddell, the
daughter of the Dean of Oxford. He met the girl and her
sisters while on a boat ride and passed the time by telling
the girls a story of a girl named Alice who goes looking
for an adventure.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Dodgson never publicly acknowledged that he was Lewis
Carroll and he rarely signed books or gave away his
portrait. Dodgson did acknowledge his pen name among his
friends, but publicly denied any connection with the Alice
books.
***
The story was originally called Alice?s Adventures Under
Ground, but Carroll feared that it might appear to be a
book containing ?instruction about mines.?
***
In 1951, the classic story was adapted into an animated
movie by Disney. Elements were merged from both Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and
some of the original characters were omitted.
