Life what is it but a dream?
-Lewis Carroll
ALICE was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, `without pictures or conversations?'
-From "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865),CHAPTER ONE - DOWN THE RABBIT-HOLE by Lewis Carroll
Alice is a fictional character in the books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass which were written by Charles Dodgson under the pen name Lewis Carroll.
The character is based on Alice Liddell, a child friend of Dodgson's. The pictures however do not depict Alice Liddell, as the illustrator never met her. She is seen as a logical girl, sometimes being pedantic, especially with Humpty Dumpty in the second book.
Alice is generally depicted wearing a pale blue knee-length dress with a white apron overtop. Her blond hair is held back with a wide black bow, and in honor of Alice, such hairbows are sometimes called "Alice bands", particularly in the UK.
Lewis Carroll has worldwide societies in many parts of the world including North America, Japan, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The Lewis Carroll Society costs very little to join and publishes a number of booklets not available in the shops. They also have a Daresbury branch. On Yahoo! there is the Lewis Carroll Community which has over 300 members and is more of a discussion site where a few people of a more academic bent can get into some very intellectual discussions.
