Day 29: What’s one thing you want people who are unfamiliar with Alice to know?
It's not just for kids and it's not about drugs or mental illness.
Also Charles Lutwidge Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll is NOT a goddamn pedophile no matter what people tell you.

On July 4 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (pen name Lewis Carroll) took the three Liddell sisters, Lorina, Alice and Edith, on a boat ride along the River Thames. On the bank at Godstow he told the story of Alice’s Adventures Underground (later renamed Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) for the first time.
161 years later this book, and its sequel Through The Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There, have had an indelible mark on our culture. A classic of children’s literature, it has never gone out of print. It has been translated into 174 languages, adapted into dozens of films (the first of which was made in 1903) and inspired countless works of art. Its nonsensical whimsy and celebration of childhood is beloved by children and adults everywhere.
Out of any story I’ve read, Alice has had the most profound impact on me. I am forever grateful to the man who told it and then wrote it down, the man who captured its magic with his illustrations, and - above all- the little girl who inspired it.
“Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: thus slowly, one by one, its quaint events were hammered out and now the tale is done, and home we steer, a merry crew, beneath the setting sun. Alice! A childish story take, and, with a gentle hand, lay it where Childhood’s dreams are twined in Memory’s mystic band. Like pilgrim’s wither’d wreath of flowers pluck’d in far off land.” - All in the Golden Afternoon, Lewis Carroll

"THE WALRUS AND THE CARPENTER WERE WALKING CLOSE AT HAND..."
PIC INFO: Resolution at 580x1080 -- Spotlight on character art of the Walrus and the Carpenter from the titular credits to Walt Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" (1951). Artwork by Norm Ferguson?
"The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"
"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,"
"Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."
-- "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by LEWIS CARROLL (1832-1898)

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) became serious about photography sometime around 1856, the same year he met Alice Liddell. At that time, he was living and teaching at Christ Church, Oxford, and this small stapled booklet features 28 photographic portraits of colleagues and friends he took while there.

Day 19: If you could meet Lewis Carroll in person, what would you like to ask him or discuss with him?
I guess whatever comes to mind. Discussing about the Alice books would be pretty fun. I wonder if he'd have any ideas for a third book.
Also, I'd like to tell him that his books are still popular and loved more than a century later.

Carrollsday em Rio Verde Parte 1
Em Agosto desse ano eu vim com isso
E vamos fingir que alguém tenha se interessado e esperou por provas de que eu consegui fazer mesmo um sarau carrolliano na minha cidade, pois bem, pode ter demorado um pouco, mas hoje eu trago fotos deste evento.
O "Chá e Bolo com Alice" foi um sarau temático realizado no dia 12 d agosto de 2023, em parceria com o Instituto Elo e com o Clube de Leitura de Rio Verde, o evento contou com apresentações teatrais, contação de história, exibição do primeiro filme de Alice no País das Maravilhas (aquele de 1906), declamação de poesia e um coffe break temático com chás, bolos e biscoitos, tudo decorado no estilo de Alice no País das Maravilhas, além da coleção do acervo pessoal de Isabela (no caso, eu mesma) que é membra da Sociedade Lewis Carroll do Brasil , a anfitriã do evento. Segue-se algumas fotos em HD.
Lembrando que a maior parte da decoração ficou por minha conta, eu trouxe meus livros de casa e todas a minhas coisinhas de Alice no País das Maravilhas para exibir, eu também enfeitei essas garrafinhas e enchi elas com suco de groselha, escrevi "Beba-me" e grudei com fita crepe, eu também fiz biscoitos de maizena com cobertura de chantily e coloquei em caixinhas onde também grudei a etiqueta com "coma-me"
aqui se podem ver mais detalhes, infelizmente não foram tiradas fotos com a mesa cheia, mas cada convidado trouxe algo a mais para complementar, então tivemos tortas, molhos, torradas, bolos e mais biscoitos além de uma variedade de chá, eu fiz chá de anis e tingi com corante azul, coloquei na garrafa grande de vidro e reproduzi a etiqueta imensa das ilustrações de John Tenniel
aqui está eu a tentar reproduzir a ilustração :)
Durante a primeira parte do sarau, onde apresentamos contação de história e a exibição de alguns filmes feitos pelos alunos do grupo de teatro Rivercena, eu optei por um modelito a la Lewis Carroll, a intenção era mesmo se vestir como o escritor vitoriano, o sapato, a meia e a chave eu comprei na Shein, o colete foi eu quem fiz, o lenço eu só mandei cortar um pedaço de cetim vermelho, o resto eram roupas que eu já tinha.
um pouco mais da decoração (que contou com brinquedos e outros objetos fornecidos pelos próprios convidados) e eu vestida de Alice já na segunda parte do evento onde tivemos apresentação de Cenas de Alice no País das Maravilhas, como a famosa cena do chá com o Chapeleiro Maluco e a Lebre de Março
