Fell down the rabbit hole.


The earliest film adaptation of our beloved heroine, Alice. I was listening to 'A Quai' by Yann Tiersen and strangely, the music fitted very well to this film in a bizarre way.

The moment I fell in love with Alice in Wonderland was more than six years ago, when I was in an Alice play at secondary school. I stumbled across the show leaflet, and on the back, there was a brief article about the inspirations behind the fictional story. I don't think I would love Alice in Wonderland half as much if it wasn't for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Alice Pleasance Liddell, and that wonderful July evening on a rowing boat, drifting down the stream through Oxford in 1862.
