Alice is turning 150

(1/1)

Shahriar Mohammad Kamal:
Alice is turning 150 this year, yet we still love to read about (or watch) this curious little girl’s adventures in Wonderland again and again. There’s something about this book that has made it a timeless classic, a fascinating story which has reached far beyond the children of the mid-19th century, for whom it was first written.
Part of the reason is that Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was a turning point in children’s literature. Earlier books and stories for children tended to have a strict focus on moral education and improvement. Most books were there to teach you how to be a good little boy or girl, rather than entertain or excite your imagination. But Lewis Carroll changed all that.

I love Alice and cherish those school days when we had a stage show on this and I personally portrayed the role of Alice(dressed in white bow-dress).It has been a popular one of all time.
