Lewis Carroll (Reverend Charles Dodgson) wrote the story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and made many photographs of children who were his friends. The Alice of his story was based on a little girl he knew, who was about the same age as the girl in this photograph.

How old do you think this little girl is? Do you think she is dreaming of adventures like Alice’s?
