| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Dreamchild |
|---|
This is a unique view of the classic story of Alice in Wonderland which shows what happens to Alice in her later life. Now in her early 80's, she is invited to New York to speak in honor of Lewis Carroll (Rev. Dodgson). While the city is in an uproar over Alice, offering her radio airtime, and even her own toy store, she is outraged by her popularity, and suffers through inner struggles with her past, trying to make sense of it. Was Wonderland real, or just an elaborate vision of a young girl and inspiring writer?
While the press is following her every step, an ex-writer for a newspaper named Charles seeps through the cracks and into the heart of her faithful companion Lucy. They both help her realize that she has made more of an impact on the world then she can ever imagine.
