An extremely rare first-edition copy of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures Underground from 1886 went under the hammer at Christies recently, fetching some £4, 800 – rather more than the expected £3, 000. Dedicated by Carroll to Alexandra Kitchin, the daughter of the Dean of Durham, one of his favourite child subject for photography, it was, of course, the story which would become the wonderfully dream-like Alice in Wonderland, beloved by adults and children alike for over a century.
