Postcards - Alice in Wonderland...

Through the looking glass - always loved the tale... Found these in Oxford where the Alice in Wonderland tales originated, her father used to tell her tales of through the looking class... Love Oxford and love Alice...
On the 4th of July 1862, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson told the story of "Alice's' Adventures Underground" to Alice Liddell and her two sisters on a boating trip down the river Isis which runs through the town of Oxford. He based the central character on Alice herself, and wove into the story many of the places and things which they'd seen on their outings in Oxford.



Alice asked him to write it down, and the story became "Alice's' Adventures Underground", then "Alice's' Adventures in Wonderland". The title is often shortened to "Alice In Wonderland".

Alice’s Shop – better known as The Old Sheep Shop in Through the Looking-Glass – has been selling all manner of curiosities since the 1830s. It is where Alice Liddell used to buy barley sugar sweets. The shopkeeper had a bleating voice like a sheep, so Lewis Carroll made her into a character in the story, and the shop into a location. Today, you can pick up Alice souvenirs and have your own tea party in the tea room.

Also love the Gargoyles - pulling faces and doing all things gross in order to scare away the bad spirits...
