Let's get ready for Alice!!!!

Celebrating Alice’s 150th birthday

Lewis Carroll’s ’s classic, Alice in Wonderland, turns 150 this year.

For a century and a half it has delighted and puzzled us in equal measure. We have fallen down the rabbit hole with Alice, taken tea with her and the Mad Hatter, been maddened by the Cheshire Cat and had to convince the Queen of Hearts that we didn’t steal her tarts!

Alice in Wonderland was first published in 1865 and was inspired by a boat trip that author Lewis Carroll took with some family friends, the Liddell children, down the River Thames in Oxford. He told the youngest daughter, Alice, a story as they rowed along and she begged him to write it down. When he got home that evening he began straight away.

The book, and its sequel Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, have been translated into at least 65 languages, including Cornish and Latin, and countless film and theatre adaptations have been made.

Alice in Wonderland is a book that remains as enchanting as ever, no matter how many times we reread it. Here, to celebrate its birthday, we share some of the its fantastic quotes!

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” 

 “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the cat. “We’re all mad here.”

 “I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

Do you dare to add your favourite one?
Be careful, you can't repeat them!!!!
