Lyndhurst

Lyndhurst- 10 miles West of Southampton.  It is the home of Alice Liddle - the girl who inspired "Alice in wonderland".  A Liddle family friend, Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), would often tell stories to the children when he came to visit. They asked for stories when they spent the afternoon riding in a canoe, so he made up a one for Alice, who was 9 years old. Each time he came they wanted a further episode until finally the book was born.

  1. So fun! Did you ever see the movie "Dream Child?" It's the story of Charles Dodgson and Alice Liddle.
