Line 71:
Whatever the inspiration for the fictional Alice, the books were ''dedicated'' to Alice Pleasance Liddell. There is an [[acrostic]] poem at the end of ''Through the Looking Glass''. Reading downward, taking the first letter of each line, spells out Alice's name in full. The poem has no title in ''Through the Looking Glass'' but is usually referred to by its first line, "A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky".
More than one contemporary writer has written a fictional account of Alice Liddell. She is one of the main characters of the [[Riverworld]] series of books, by [[Philip José Farmer]]. Canadian poet [[Stephanie Bolster]] also wrote a collection of poems, ''[[White Stone]]'', based on her. Katie Roiphe has written a fictional (claimed to be based on fact) account of the relationship between Alice and Carroll, titled "Still She Haunts Me." The [[1985]] movie ''[[Dreamchild]]'' deals with Alice Liddell Hargreaves' trip to America for the Columbia University presentation described above. Through a series of flashbacks, it promotes the popular assumption that Dodgson was romantically attracted to Alice. Most recently, Frank Beddor wrote "The Looking Glass Wars," which retells the Alice in Wonderland story and includes real-life characters such as the Liddells and Prince Leopold.
