A Virtual Wonderland from the British Library



Many years ago I had a good fortune to spend a few hours in the British Museum Manuscript room. I remember seeing an original handwritten manuscript of Alice in Wonderland with Lewis Carroll's own drawings. The book was originally called Alice's Adventures underground. Thanks to technology (Shockwave) you can read this actual manuscript and turn the pages. You can also look at Mozart's notebook and listen to musical adaptations while looking at his notes.
