Overview

Charles Dodgson likes to take pictures of young girls. His intended bride, 11-year old Alice Liddell, is strapped into braces so that she will sit still for her portrait. The child cannot move, but she may yet escape the grip of her suitor––to a place where Hell is above, Heaven below, and the mad ones sing in the language of nonsense: Dreamland.
