America celebrates the wonder of Alice

New York

WHILE the Alice of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was a fictional British character, she has touched the hearts of young and old worldwide, particularly in the United States.

So it will come as no surprise that many of this year's commemorations of the 150th anniversary of the novel's 1865 publication are taking place in this country, also the headquarters of the thriving Lewis Carroll Society of North America.
