'Alice' still enchants. A little bit of Wonderland in New York
This statue of Alice in Wonderland is found on the east side of New York’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 novel was first published on this day in 1865, written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson 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.
