'Alice' still enchants. A little bit of Wonderland in New York City
This statue of Alice in Wonderland is found one the east side of New York City’s Central Park. It was commissioned in 1959 by a philanthropist whose late wife had enjoyed reading ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ to their children. The children’s book was first published on this day in 1865, a work by the English writer Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. His story of a little girl who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world was inspired by a real girl, Alice Liddell, and it went on to become a classic, inspiring films, television shows, and artwork like this.
