Sinopsis
A world-famous Oxford story from a new angle: the essential role played by the River Thames in the creation of Alices Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. It was on rowing trips with Alice Liddell and her sisters that Lewis Carroll (the Oxford don Charles Dodgson) invented many of the tales which were later incorporated into the books; it was on the riverbank on 4 July 1862 that Wonderland had its birth; and it was from particular incidents on or near the Thames that Carroll drew inspiration for some well-known episodes. Combining excerpts from Carrolls diaries and the Alice books with contemporary images, memoirs, and fiction, Alice in Waterland sets the Oxford scene of the time (including the burgeoning Pre-Raphaelite movement) and sheds new light on the real individuals who inspired characters such as the Hatter, the Sheep, and the Red Queen.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Críticas
'A splendid book--fully informative and balanced about Dodgson's life and (Alice-related) preoccupations, and marvellously detailed when it comes to the river and Oxford. A really important addition to the literature of Lewis Carroll and Oxford, I'm sure it will be eagerly bought and read by students of literature (and especially children's literature) as well as visitors to the city.' --Philip Pullman
'This thoroughly enjoyable book reveals, for the first time, the importance of Oxford s waterways as a background to the stories.' --Mark Richards, Chairman, The Lewis Carroll Society
