Will Brooker turns his attention to Lewis Carroll and Alice. He takes the reader through a revealing tour of late 20th Century popular culture, following Alice and her creator wherever they go. Brooker reveals the ways in which this iconic character has been used and adapted, taking in cartoons, movies, computer games, theme parks, heritage sites, novelisations, illustrations, biographies, theatrical performances, toys and other products, websites, fan clubs and much more. The result is an analysis of how one original creation has expanded over time to symbolize many different things to many different people.
