Alice And The Online Wonderland.
The British Library has announced that the original manuscript of Alice in Wonderland has been added to its Turning Pages collection, the website which allows users to virtually turn the pages of a selection of rare books.
Other rare works such as the Lindisfarne Gospels, the Diamond Sutra and Baybars' Magnificent Qu'ran can also be seen.
Macromedia Shockwave is required to enable the turning of the books pages. A link is provided on the British Library site.
Alice took longer to load on my dial-up connection than Lewis Carroll probably took to write and illustrate it, but the wait is worth it.
