Melbourne Rare Book Week

All in the golden afternoon… when three little girls were rowed upstream on the Thames in Oxford by two timid clergymen, a legendary story was born which became Alice in Wonderland. Since that golden afternoon, the book has continued to fire the imaginations of readers young and old; of artists and illustrators; of actors and filmmakers; of copyists, plagiarists and satirists.

Chris Browne will show us how the stories of Lewis Carroll’s Alice have enriched our lives ever since. See how different artists, writers, propagandists and satirists have added to the evolving dream worlds of Alice.
