Alice Pleasance Hargreaves (née Liddell, /ˈlɪdəl/; 4 May 1852 – 16 November 1934) was an English woman who, in her childhood, was an acquaintance and photography subject of Lewis Carroll. One of the stories he told her during a boating trip became the classic 1865 children’s novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. She shared her name with “Alice”, the story’s protagonist, but scholars disagree about the extent to which the character was based upon her.
