Eighty-year-old Alice Hargreaves is about to visit Columbia University to attend a reception in honor of author Lewis Carroll. As a child, Alice had a close friendship with the writer, and their relationship was the creative catalyst for Carroll’s most beloved work. However, as Alice reflects on her experiences with the author, she realizes the complexity of their bond has had lasting, deeply felt ramifications.

The Lewis Carroll Society of North America is a non-profit literary society dedicated to promoting awareness and appreciation of the life, work, times, and influence of Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). Through conferences, public programs, publications, research projects, and communications, we work to create knowledge and share awareness of Carroll’s contributions to society and culture around the world. We are collectors, scholars, actors, and enthusiasts of all ages and walks of life who share an affinity for the Alice books and also for Carroll’s many other works and interests, including The Hunting of the Snark, photography, mathematics, logic, the theater, Victorian culture, Oxford life, Anglicanism, etc.
