A bit of eclectic for your day. The inspiration for Alice in Wonderland! Interesting that the story's image of Alice is a matter of dispute. Obviously, it is not the illustration of the original Alice. Lewis Carroll sent a photograph of another child friend, Mary Hilton Badcock to the book's illustrator, but whether or not the artist actually used it is cloudy. A letter Carroll wrote suggests the illustrator did not. Either way Alice Liddell had a life of adventure and helped to establish stories we know and love. Read more about her here.
