Today I found a lot of books at the library on Lewis Carroll and read some more interesting things I had no idea about! The thing I’m most interested in right now is the real Alice that his Alice books are based on. She was a real little girl named Alice Liddell, whom Lewis had befriended, along with the rest of her family. He would take the children on various boating trips and tell them stories, which he then incorporated into his books. What fun that must have been for the children to hear such a great story teller! I also saw some photographs that Lewis took of the real Alice. She isn’t a little blond girl like in the illustrations or movies, she has short brown hair, and some of the pictures are kind of provocative even. I know from my research so far that there is speculation on the idea that Lewis was in love with Alice, but after reading more, I don’t think that at all. I just think that he was a child at heart himself and wanted to play dress up and photograph his friends. It’s all really interesting, especially for the time period (the 1850s primarily). I wish I could have been a fly on the wall in his studio! Over the next few weeks I plan on doing more research on his friendship with the Liddell family and his relationship with his father. These are the aspects of his life that interest me the most so far.
