Alice in Wonderland' is a book loved worldwide by people of all
ages. But 'Under His Hat' reveals other intriguing stories of
Alice, who was known in real life as Alice Liddell, the daughter of
Henry George Liddell, Dean of Christ Church College Oxford. Born
into the privilege and wealth of English nobility, her real-life
hatter was Coffee Johnny, an orphan. Introduced when Alice was very
young during a family holiday to Ravensworth Castle, their affinity
for each other lasted their lifetimes and he became her confidant
and close friend. Their fascinating stories unfold in Tyneside,
Windsor and Oxford in England at the start of the Industrial
Revolution. The two become instrumental in inspiring Lewis Carroll
to write his masterpieces. It is only much later learnt by the pair
that Johnny was actually the illegitimate son of Dean Liddell, and
so Alice's half brother.
