WHO WAS

ALICE?

Beyond the gateways of dreamland lies the country of beautiful nonsense, whither you may travel even on waking feet, provided you follow the path charted by Lewis Carroll in those charming books which he wrote for children, but of which grown-ups are. just as fond, "Alice in Wonderland," and "Through. the Looking Glass."

In those astral lands unknown of the geographers, Alice met strange; fantastic creatures, the March Hare and the Mad Hatter, and the Cheshire Cat whose grin re- mained after his face had vanished: she ate magic pills which made her grow tall as a house, and then smaller than a grassblade; she talked with frogs and weird great sea-beasts.and played, croquet with live storks for mallets in the company of the Queen of Hearts.

•

Her second journey through the Invisible gates took her Into the topsy-turvey land which stretches out on the. other side of the looking-glass,

where your left hand is your right, where time rolls back- wards, and where everything else goes by contraries too.

The real-life Alice from whom the heroine of these extravaganzas. takes her name was little Alice Riddell. She was the daughter of Dean Riddell, a great friend of the author's, and it was her re- peated requests for a fairy story which inspired two of the most delightful, children's books in our language.
