Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass
These two children’s books by Lewis Carroll are classic stories.
I read them as a child and now to my young nephews and nieces.
I believe that all children love to read about others kids who are on their own and experience adventures.
Alice is a little girl of seven years old who follows a rabbit down a hole and is brought to a very wonderful but frightening place.
She encounters good and bad characters on the way but as in all good children’s stories it all ends well.
Alice Day in Llandudno North Wales, UK
Guinness Book of Records
The 160th birthday of Alice Liddell was celebrated in Llandudno on Friday 4th May 2012.
There was also a world record attempt and 1,716 jam tarts were eaten altogether in the hour.
This set a world record for the number of jam tarts eaten at an Alice in Wonderland themed Tea Party and has been passed on to the Guinness Book of Records.
The reason Llandudno in Wales was celebrating Alice Day is that the inspiration for the character of Alice in the Lewis Carroll books Alice in Wonderland and Through the looking glass is based on a child called Alice Liddell.
She spent her childhood in Llandudno at a holiday house her father had built in the town.
Over nine hundred school children and thousands of adults attended Alice Day in Llandudno, North Wales.
Fifty local drama students took part in the celebrations and were dressed up as characters from the book.
They stayed in character during the day much to the delight of the local children. Ian Turner a local entertainer was MC for the day.
