Jim Browne's interview of me about Alice in Wonderland and my book, The Place of Lewis Carroll in Children's Literature is airing today (12/24). Here's a link to the WGLT newsroom with the interview from the radio and another excerpt. Thanks to Jim Browne for making me sound good!
And, as I said in the interview, Alice in Wonderland is a great Christmas gift. Altho Carroll told the story first in July to the Liddell family in 1862, he gave an illustrated manuscript copy (Alice Underground) to Alice Liddell at Christmas in 1863. The book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, with John Tenniel's drawings, was published for the Christmas season in 1865. And it's still available in bookstores
