English: What's so great about Lewis Carroll?

Countless retellings and adaptations pay homage to the enduring popularity of Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll. This panel featuring writers Patrice Lawrence and Irenosen Okojie examines his legacy, spanning two centuries of shifting tastes and opinions. In addition, Chris Riddell will be illustrating the panel live on stage in the style of John Tenniel’s original Alice. Plus Joyce Carol Oates as the Red Queen – what more could you wish for?
