To mark Alice's Day, we're sharing these hand-carved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland figures, made by Oxford's Alley Workshop in the 1920s for the city's growing community of women students. Now part of Christ Church Library's collections. #AlicesDay #LewisCarroll #Oxford

161 years ago, Lewis Carroll sent a curious little girl down a rabbit hole and generations of readers followed. Happy Birthday to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. #SharjahBookAuthority #SBA⁣ #Sharjah⁣ #UAE

On this day in 1862, a mathematician named Charles Dodgson dreamt up a whimsical tale to entertain a bored little girl named Alice Liddell on a long boat ride. He became Lewis Carroll and the story became "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Meet the real Alice: themarginalian.org/2012/07/0…

I'll be speaking on this for 15-20 minutes at 8pm tonight, UK time - and making an announcement about the HUNTING OF THE SNARK full-length audio remake - a scoop compared to the press release we will be putting out on April 1st (and it ain't no joke!)... Hope you can get through on their link. 🥳

“Full of wonder & novelty…The enormous width of the streets…the bewildering jabber of the natives all contributed to the wonders of our 1st walk in St Petersburg”-Lewis Carroll, born #OTD in 1832, saw Russia where he went in 1867 on his only trip abroad, as a sort of Wonderland

Happy un-un-birthday Lewis Carroll, born #onthisday in 1832. Pictured here: the frontispiece to The Rectory Umbrella, a magazine produced by Carroll and his 10 siblings, when he was around 17 years old. More in Jenny Woolf's essay here: publicdomainreview.org/essay… #otd

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” 📚 | Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass
