The book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a wonderful subject for a program. This program, however, is not about that book. This program is about the personal relationship between Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and Alice Pleasance Liddell, the "Alice" in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. The program discusses the lives of Dodgson and Alice Liddell, how they happened to meet and how the book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland came to be written. The program also discusses the controversies in Dodgson’s life including his photography of children. The program was presented at a Los Angeles Mensa RG, and was well-attended and well-received.
