Alice Liddell’s personal copy of “Alice In Wonderland”, the story she inspired, will be auctioned next month along with other rare first edition fantasy titles including “The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz“, “Winnie The Pooh“, and “The Tale Of Peter Rabbit“. The first edition Wonderland text has been part of the private collection  of former U.S. professional football player Pat McInally. The auction, featuring primarily children’s literature, is expected to generate over $1 million in sales.
