More than 150 years have passed since the release of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, yet the book stays as one of the best Children’s classics of all time. Unlike many books of the same genre, it appeals to both adults and children, for its creative story, unique characters and precious lessons about life. Let us find out more about the story of the 7-year-old Alice, and how her adventures stay in countless of readers’ hearts.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland can be a fascinating read to any reader of any age, however, if we really want to fathom the underlying meanings and metaphors that have drawn the attention of millions of critics and fellow artists, or even just to grasp the story fully, it is crucial that we first get to know about …show more content…
Many of us only know of him as a “children book writer”, but Dodgson was initially a mathematician, and one of the most well-known amateur photographer of his time. His main subjects in photography (and his art in general), were little girls, often in the ages of 7-15. Although more than two-thirds of Dodgson’s portfolio of over 3000 pictures went missing, many prints of Alice Liddell had been found.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson had a lot of child friends, and Alice Liddell was considered as his most favourite - his muse. He also became good friends with Liddell’s sisters.

Secondly, I believe the author might wanted to say that on the way to becoming an adult, one must have the courage to walk alone and be ready to face any adversity. Alice’s own tears are what take her out of the locked room; when Alice is lost in the forest, not any help does the Cheshire Cat offer; the blue Caterpillar only tells Alice vague advice which is too complicated for a 7-year-old child to understand. People have to be independent to survive when no one wants to, or can help us. This is extremely accurate, in my opinion. I used to be so reliant upon the others as a child, to the point that I felt hopeless without someone there to comfort me. However, after reading Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, I tried to adjust and now I find myself as a better person who can smile and keep on pushing forward even though there might be no one beside
