About "All In The Golden Afternoon"
"All in the golden afternoon" is the preface poem in Lewis Carroll's 1865 book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The introductory poem recalls the afternoon that he improvised the story about Alice in Wonderland while on a boat trip from Oxford to Godstow, for the benefit of the three Liddell sisters: Lorina Charlotte (the flashing "Prima"), Alice Pleasance (the hoping "Secunda"), and Edith Mary (the interrupting "Tertia"). Alice gave her name to Carroll's main character.
Carroll's "All in the golden afternoon" has been included in some film and stage adaptations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, including Walt Disney's 1951 animated adaptation where it was used as a song title and a 1972 play version created by director André Gregory, who used portions of the first and last stanzas of the poem to introduce the play's plot. The poem was also changed slightly and its first, second, third, fourth, and fifth stanzas used as lyrics for a song of the same name by the German band Alphaville.
