Now, in this spellbinding historical novel, we meet the young girl whose bright spirit sent her on an unforgettable trip down the rabbit holeâand the grown woman whose story is no less enthralling.But oh my dear, I am tired of being Alice in Wonderland. Does it sound ungrateful?Alice Liddell Hargreavesâs life has been a richly woven tapestry: As a young woman, wife, mother, and widow, sheâs experienced intense passion, great privilege, and greater tragedy. But as she nears her eighty-first birthday, she knows that, to the world around her, she is and will always be only âAlice.â Her life was permanently dog-eared at one fateful moment in her tenth yearâthe golden summer day she urged a grown-up friend to write down one of his fanciful stories.That story, a wild tale of rabbits, queens, and a precocious young child, becomes a sensation the world over. Its author, a shy, stuttering Oxford professor, does more than immortalize Aliceâhe changes her life forever. But even he cannot stop time, as much as he might like to. And as Aliceâs childhood slips away, a peacetime of glittering balls and royal romances gives way to the urgent tide of war. For Alice, the stakes could not be higher, for she is the mother of three grown sons, soldiers all. Yet even as she stands to lose everything she treasures, one part of her will always be the determined, undaunted Alice of the story, who discovered that life beyond the rabbit hole was an astonishing journey. 600 11 $a Hargreaves, Alice Pleasance Liddell $d 1852-1934 $v Fiction $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut2992787483023000 600 11 $a Carroll, Lewis $d 1823-1898 $v Fiction $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut2992787648750100 600 17 $a Hargreaves, Alice Pleasance Liddell, $d 1852-1934 $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut2992787677267500 600 17 $a Dodgson, Charles Lutwidge, $d 1832-1898 $v Fiction $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut2992787759224800 651 0 $a Oxford (England) $v Fiction $0 (DLC)n 79065853 651 0 $a England $z Oxford $0 (DLC)n 82068148 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 830 0 $a Random House reader's circle. $0 (local)tlcaut2992811114622500 941 $a 3 952 $l CVPA586 $d 20240413011000.0 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117010350.0 952 $l CNPC792 $d 20220105011753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=74444C625D7511ECBD31EEBF27ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b QW8Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
