Alice’s Journeythrough Time
Nearly one hundred and fifty years ago people were
reading Alice in Wonderland,by Lewis Carroll. It tells
the story of a girl called Alice who falls down a
rabbithole into a fantasy world that is populated by
strange and magical creatures.
When Alice in Wonderland was first published in
1865 it was an instant success,and even Queen
Victoria became a fan. Since then, over one
hundred editionsof the book have been published
and it has sold hundreds of millions of copiesin countless languages.
But the success of Alice in Wonderland was not just limited to books. Walt
Disney created a comic of the story in the1950s and later made an animated film.
The story also became a TV series and was made into numerous films around the
world. The most recent film adaptation was in 2010. Johnny Depp starred inTim
Burton’s film version, which used a combination of live action and 3D animation.
The film was extremelysuccessful with critics and with the public.
However, the story of Alice in Wonderland doesn’t stop there. Throughout its
life new media havetaken the story and presented it in different ways. Originally a
book, Alice in Wonderland has appeared in thetheatre, in comics, cartoons, films
and in 3D. The latest and perhaps most revolutionary innovation is theelectronic
book Alice for the iPad. In this version, when they touch or shake their iPad,
readers can make Alicegrow or shrink, throw darts at the Queen, make the Mad
Hatter even madder or swing the rabbit’s pocketwatch. Reading a good story has
never been so much fun!
