ENTER TO WIN A FREE E-BOOK

Today (May 4th) is Alice’s (of Wonderland fame) birthday! This is a photo of Alice Liddell.

In 1862, the Rev. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), who was a mathematics don at Oxford, took three little neighbor girls out for a ride on a boat. On a hot, sunny July day, and in the company of his friend, Robinson Duckworth, the professor began to spin yet another fantastic story for the amusement of the girls. Alice, who was ten at the time, begged Mr. Dodgson to write down the tale for her. She was presented with a handwritten copy of Alice’s Adventures Under Ground, illustrated by the author during Christmas 1864. That copy resides in the British Museum and is probably the most famous book in all children’s literature. The next year the rest of the world welcomed Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland into history.

To celebrate Alice’s birthday, I’ll be giving away one E-book of Down the Treacle Well. To enter the drawing, leave a comment below. Contest closes Friday, May 10th at 12:00 (MST).
