Step inside a piece of literary history. Oxford welcomed a remarkable addition to its collections: Lewis Carroll’s personal copy of the suppressed 1865 first edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Donated by Ellen A. Michelson, the volume is held jointly by Christ Church and the Bodleian Libraries. You can now explore Carroll’s own annotations and John Tenniel’s original drawings on Digital Bodleian.
