'Alice in Wonderland' is 150-years old today. And now we can see what the original book looked like.

Alice's Adventures under Ground. 

That was the original title Lewis Carroll gave his seminal work, with a subtitle stating it was "A Christmas gift to a dear child in memory of a summer day."

Indeed, there was an Alice--Alice Liddell, specifically--the young daughter of the dean of Christ Church, Oxford, where Carroll was a mathematician. Liddell and her siblings spent time with Carroll, who influenced his creation of a world of make-believe down a rabbit hole.

Now, on the book's 150th anniversary, The British Library (which owns the original manuscript), has an exhibition commemorating the publication. You needn't travel to Britain to see inside the book though, as the Library has posted highlights on its website and Twitter.

Everything visually looks great, except for the larger drawing of Alice with what, I can only assume, is a pepper grinder while she works as a server at Olive Garden.
