Synopsis
As principal political cartoonist for Punch, John Tenniel had not contributed to any children's books before he was asked to illustrate Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. One of the reasons he was engaged, the authors of this literary investigation argue, is that Lewis Carroll not only encoded himself and his friend Alice Liddell in the story - he also lampooned a host of Victorian politicians and public figures in the many wonderfully weird characters that the fictional Alice meets in the novels.

About the Author
Jo Elwyn Jones, the daughter of Lord Elwyn Jones (Lord Chancellor in the Callaghan government), read biology at Newnham College, Cambridge, and became historian of science at Harvard, where she began her Carroll research. She was a scriptwriter for Bronowski's BBC 'Ascent of Man' television series. J. Francis Gladstone, great-grandson of Prime Minister Gladstone, attended Christ Church, Oxford, as did his grandfather when Carroll taught there. He was a producer on the BBC 'Horizon' television series and has made a number of independent documentary films.
Synopsis
The authors, through archival searches and some astute deductions, have exposed a new dimension to Lewis Carroll's "Alice" books. They suggest that the characters are based on real people, and that he wrote the books as satires upon declining moral and academic standards of his time.
