Description

There are 364 un-birthdays in a year! Join us for a whimsical celebration of Alice Liddell, the young muse who inspired Lewis Carroll’s timeless tales, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. This program invites you to dive deep into the imagination, history, and cultural legacy surrounding Alice and her creator, Lewis Carroll. Drawing from original artifacts, rare editions, and materials from the Rosenbach collection, we will examine how real-life Alice was transformed into a literary icon. 

Sponsors

A Very Merry Un-Birthday Behind the Bookcase program is kindly sponsored by Lois and Larry Deckelbaum.
