The Alice companion

About this book

The Alice Companion is for anyone with an interest in Lewis Carroll and his Alice stories - be they armchair readers, librarians or students of the nineteenth century and its children's literature. It is a commentary on the people and places that make up Carroll's and Alice Liddell's world in mid-nineteenth century Oxford. The Alice Companion is also a source-book to the extensive existing literature concerned with this period in Carroll's life in all its critical, linguistic, biographical and bibliographical aspects. Indexed with its own extensive bibliography, the Companion is designed to provide access to Alice in all her disguises - in film, on the stage, as seen by different illustrators and translators, and as interpreted in different countries.
