Alice Pleasance Liddell (May 4, 1852 - November 16, 1934) was a daughter of Henry Liddell, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, and was the inspiration for the children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
Recent research suggests she may not have been the 'inspiration' as such at all. Carroll himself claimed that his 'Alice' was 'named after' Alice Liddell but wasn't inspired by her. Apparently he always maintained that his 'Alice' was totally separate from Alice Liddell. For a full exploration of this you can read In the Shadow of the Dreamchild by Karoline Leach.
