151. Alice
Her throne was an office chair; her scepter a date stamp. Alice was queen of my youthful reading. After I consumed the entire children’s section, she suggested wholesome books to read from the adult titles. Our village was gratefully literate.

She was the Alice of a wonderland. Great portrait in 40 words.

This is wonderful. Alice retired last year and I think I'll mail a copy of this to her. She'd like it.

I set-up a library system in my bedroom complete with date stamp and check-out cards. My inspiration came from the Alice in my life.
