Question

The film Alice Through the Looking Glass is on. Millions of people go to cinemas to see it. The little girl Alice, with long hair of gold, is alive in people's mind again after the film Alice in Wonderland was shown in 2010.

These two popular films were adapted from the novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Both of them were written by Lewis Carroll, a famous English writer, who himself was as interesting as his books.

Lewis Carroll was a maths teacher and talented writer. In 1856, he met Henry Liddell and his three lovely daughters. His friendship with the family became an important part of his life over the following years. He liked the girls very much, especially the youngest one, Alice Liddell. He often told stories to make them happy. One day he took the girls to a boat trip. To make the time more enjoyable, he began a story about the adventure of a little girl named Alice in Wonderland. Many other strange characters such as the Mouse, the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts were brought to this wonderful world too.

Alice Liddell loved the story and she begged Carroll to write it down for her. After Carroll finished the manuscript of the story Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, he gave it to the girl as a Christmas present. When the book was published in 1865, it was an immediate success, and soon was famous around the world.
