REIKO KAWAMOTO 2002:Disney Thursday4: Movie Group: Alice in Wonderland My topic: History of Alice in Wonderland

"History of Alice in wonderland"

This story is one of Disney Movie story. This story is very popular with people especially children. Using three topics, I'd like to explain "History of Alice in Wonderland". History and To books.

This story was written Lewis Carroll. He was born in 1832. He started to write books when he was 23 years old. And when he was 30 years old, he made up a model of "Alice in Wonderland". He told three girls who name is the Redels the story which was made by improvisation. The story's heroine was one of three girls who name is Alice Redel. And he promised with Alice to make a book using this story. After six months, he presented a book to Alice. This book's name is "Alice in underworld". This is model of "Alice in Wonderland".

When he was 31years old, he published book which named "Alice in underworld". When he was 33years old, this book was published as "Alice in Wonderland". First edition didn't publish and second edition published formally in November. Two years later, third and fourth edition ware published and he started to write next story named "Alice in mirror world". His story was very popular with people, so "Alice in Wonderland" was translated English into French and German.

When he was 54 years old, "Alice in Wonderland" was performed by opera, and in Japan, this story was first published in 1899, named "Kagami sekai". After wards, this story became picture book, play, and Walt Disney movie.

After I studied about Lewis Carroll, I feel he likes children very much. When he made up model of "Alice in Wonderland" he presented a book to girl or he worked at school, I think he liked children and now, this story is very popular with people in the world so I think he is very happy and great author.
