Alice Liddell, the original Alice. The story of Alice in wonderland reportedly started as a fairy tale told to Alice Liddell by Charles Dodgsen (aka Lewis Carroll) as she had gotten bored on an outing on the Themes.
Drink Me, Sir John Tenniel 1865.
Three years after Dodgsen told the story to Alice, the book, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" was published. The original illustrations, done by
Sir John Tenniel are detailed sketches that pop in to enliven the story.
Alice in Wonderland, The disney Version cartoon, 1951
This version of Alice was obviously based on the original drawings, but there is a great deal more maturity in the depiction of her face and body.
Alice in Wonderland. Another Disney Version, live action, 2010
This version shows Alice as much older, and returning to wonderland after it had been some time.
Sci-fi channel presented a mini-series entitled Alice in 2009. This version featured many of the same characters, but most with very different characteristics. The mad hatter (on the right) is not crazy, and is crucial in the economy of "wonderland." Alice is a black-belt karate instructor in the real world, who meets and falls in love with the escaped prince of hearts (without knowing his true place) and follows him into wonderland when he gets kidnapped by the goons of the red queen. This story is an interesting take on an adult version of a child's land of nonsense.
