The Annotated Alice - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (By Lewis Carroll, annotated by Martin Gardner)
Who knew that there really was an Alice? She may not have tumbled down the rabbit hole, but probably slipped down the narrow staircase in the back of Christ Church College's dining hall.
Alice's one major romance before she married, was with England's Prince Leopold, son of Queen Victoria. The relationship was not to last as Alice was a commoner. She eventually married Reginald Hargreaves. Alice wore a gift from the prince on her wedding gown and named her second son Leopold. A few weeks later, Prince Leopold, married to a princess, named a daughter Alice.
