Image description

In August 1886 Henry Savile Clarke, a Yorkshire-born journalist also known for his work in ‘light’ literature and popular entertainment, wrote to Lewis Carroll to ask for permission to adapt Alice in Wonderland into a musical stage show. It was the first and only adaptation to which Carroll would agree. A stickler for accuracy, Carroll was actively involved in the whole process, from the adaptation of the novel to the selection of actors.
