Alice in Wonderland

 

This week instead of taking part in in the Book Blogger Hop I am taking an idea from my other blog News From Italy and posting a Friday Foto.

A little early for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere but I am planning a long weekend away from my computer.

On 25 April 1856, one Charles Dodgson bumped into a family in Oxford and met Alice Liddell, the little girl for whom the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was conceived. Little did either of them know it would still be sparking imaginations over 150 years later and even the subject of a new film.

An advertising poster for the film that I came across in Kowloon, Hong Kong recently.

  10. Priya, you are so kind for giving me this award! I will now do a post, but sending on I will think about. How does one choose from the great selection out there. I know you did and I feel honoured to be chosen.
