Among the many who follow the White Rabbit, Danuta Radomska-Filipek from Poland stands out as a passionate guardian of Wonderland.
Her journey began in 1958 when she received her very first Alice book as a young girl. Over the decades her fascination grew into a remarkable collection that includes rare Polish editions, international translations exchanged with fellow enthusiasts, and beautifully illustrated volumes that turn her shelves into a paper art gallery.
She also treasures unique objects such as a porcelain Alice figurine, a chess set, and keepsakes from Alice’s Shop in Oxford. Danuta is not only a collector but also a researcher and writer. She has produced academic and independent works on Alice and shares her reflections on her website Lawendowy Kapelusz, where she documents her collection and explores the countless ways Carroll’s creation continues to inspire literature, illustration, and cultural imagination.
Her sources range from scholarly works to museum and exhibition catalogs, revealing her dedication to both preserving and interpreting the Wonderland legacy. For Danuta, Alice is more than a character on the page. She is a lifelong companion who continues to surprise, inspire, and connect her with kindred spirits around the world. As Danuta herself says, “I did not choose Alice, Alice chose me, and she continues to surprise me every single day.”
