Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world (the Wonderland of the title) populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic in ways that have given the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children.

Alice was published in 1865, three years after the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat, on 4 July 1862,up the River Thames with the three young daughters of Henry Liddell, (the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church) : Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849) ("Prima" in the book's prefatory verse); Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852) ("Secunda" in the prefatory verse); Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853) ("Tertia" in the prefatory verse).

The journey began at Folly Bridge near Oxford and ended five miles away in the village of Godstow. To while away time the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that, not so coincidentally, featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. After a lengthy delay—over two years—he eventually did so and on 26 November 1864 gave Alice the handwritten manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, with illustrations by Dodgson himself.

Dali work expected to fetch 10 Million

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A 75-year-old masterwork by Surrealist painter Salvador Dali is expected to fetch $10 million or more when it hits the auction block next month, Sotheby's said on Wednesday.

"Printemps necrophilique," a 1936 work by the Spanish master which depicts a seated male and a standing female in an eerily realistic landscape, has a presale estimate of $8 million to $12 million when it is offered at the May 2 sale of Impressionist and Modern Art. It was last been on the market about 15 years ago.

"Surrealism is the last great movement of 20th-century modernism to be fully appreciated in the marketplace," said Simon Shaw, Sotheby head of Impressionist and modern art in New York, referring to recent records.

Dali's "Portrait de Paul Eluard" set a record for a Surrealist work when it sold for $21.7 million at Sotheby's in February 2011, while Ernst's "The Stolen Mirror" soared to $16.3 million, or more than three times the estimate, smashing the artist's record of $2.67 million at Christie's last fall.
