The Bookish Kind: Something About Alice

Something About Alice

A few weeks ago, I was thrilled to come upon a book filled with lovely "Alice in Wonderland" illustrations. Over 100 of them to be exact. There is just something about Alice - you have to love her. Here are a few of the charming illustrations from the past century that bring her to life from the pages whence she came from.

Curiouser and curiouser!

So cool! Have you seen the new Tim Burton movie? I haven't and really want to. What an amazing find - Alice is definitely one of the most popular Victorian characters!

Joy

I will never tire of the wind,
be it a cold winter blast
that takes me off guard
with it's bitterness,
or an exhilarating spring or
fall tempest that sweeps me away.
I get caught up in it every time,
...it's as if the wind is calling
my name to come out and play.
The trees become my cohorts,
...those gentle giants that sway
back and forth with delight,
as they gracefully bend to and
fro - they get caught up every time,
too, and are surely clapping their
hands in mirth.
In these moments, I am a
beautiful bird who was made for nothing more than ascending
to the heights where the currents await me. Joy.

For the beauty of the earth
