alice in wonderland

Alice in Wonderland
I highly recommend this book. It brings you to a world of word play. Lewis Carol, the author, uses many double entendres which confuses Alice. Alice is the main character, she is a little girl who thinks greatly of her learnings.

Here's a site with images of the original publication, Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures Under Ground." The book is handwritten and illustrated by Carroll himself.

It is listed as "The Original Alice" on the British Library's "Turning the Pages" online gallery:

It would be nice to find a facsimile copy of this book if there is one.

Well, shoot. I was hoping you would be able to research Alice a bit more before your book club conversation. Maybe you could keep reading about it, anyway. You never know where it might lead. "The deeper you go, the higher you fly. So come on." -- Who said that?

I did find a facsimile copy of "Alice's Adventures Under Ground."

UWG GIL Search: Alice's Adventures Under Ground

I had to go first to the UWG's GIL library catalog to search. You can get to the catalog from the library's homepage at: http://www.westga.edu/library/

Then, I had to copy the URL into the Voyager Canned Search Generator to make a URL that I would work after being copied into this blog entry.
