Alices In Wonderland: Part 24



In among the collection are some oddities. One such is a book I have which is a spiral-bound volume called "Songs from Alice" (published by Adam and Charles Black,) in which Don Harper has set various of Carroll's poems to music. The illustrations are by Charles Folkard.

As she talks with the caterpillar, Alice muses about how she doesn't feel like herself. In response the caterpillar asks her to recite a poem, You are Old Father William. She does so. The illustration comes from the poem as she recites it.
