Welcome to Wonderland
Everything you need to know about Alice — the curious girl, her two dream-worlds, the books Lewis Carroll built for her, and the 160 years of readers who followed her down the rabbit-hole.
This is Digital Alice: a complete, honest reference to Lewis Carroll’s two Alice books — Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871). Every quotation on this site is verified word-for-word against the public-domain text, every date is labeled as documented or estimated, and every illustration is plainly labeled as what it is.
Meet the character
The Vizlings app’s card text for this character reads (presented as-is from the app’s roster):
“A curious young Alice exploring the enchanting…”
The on-screen Alice is the owner’s animated storybook heroine — the curious girl from the Vizlings app, now with her own stream page. The literary Alice she is based on — seven years old, fond of pretending, armed with good questions — is profiled on Who Is Alice?.

Source notes
- The two Alice books: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871), by “Lewis Carroll” (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832–1898). Both texts are public domain; quotations on this site were verified against the Project Gutenberg editions (ebooks #11 and #12). See sources.
- Publication history, the 1862 “golden afternoon” boat trip, and the Alice Liddell connection: see the books and the real Alice. The boat trip is documented in Carroll’s diary; details of what was said are not.
- All illustrations on this site were generated in-house (2026-09-26) as storybook dramatization art — see the image credits on this page and methodology.
