The Other Alice: The Story of Alice Liddell and Alice in Wonderland
Amazon.com Price: $ 25.95 (as of 05/19/2022 21:52 PST- Details)
The book describes the childhood of Alice Liddell and considers the connection between Alice Liddell, the Alice from the book and Dodgson/Carroll by means of anecdotes, historical information on childhood life in Victorian England, family trees for Alice, Dodgson, and Queen Victoria, biographical details, descriptions of the Oxford setting (including a walking tour), photos, etc.. The book also contains games and puzzles invented by Dodgson.
Although this book is obviously written for children (judging to the tone and style of writing), it manages to provide much information about the author of the Alice books and his relationship with Alice Liddell and her sisters, along with nicely rendered pictures and a good number of Dodgson’s photographs.
Although the ‘story’ given in the book has a few fictionalized moments, on the whole it is accurate and does not shy away from the fact that Dodgson’s relationship with Alice was rather sad and didn’t have a happy ending.

Looking-Glass House: The Lost Manuscript of “Through the Looking-Glass” by Lewis Carroll
Many autors have attempted to write stories in ‘Wonderland’ style, pretending them to be recently recovered ‘lost’ stories by Lewis Carroll. This book is different. It is Carroll’s original “Through the Looking Glass” tale, but in a ‘lost format’. The story is printed in a font based on Lewis Carroll’s handwriting, and it contains more than 30 pen-and-ink drawings, trying to mimic Carroll’s style. The result is a book that quite looks like a manuscript that Lewis Carroll could have written, if he had indeed created one for the “Looking Glass” story!
