Edith in the story[]
Edith is portrayed as the Eaglet in the story. Some sources also report that she, not Alice, was used as a model for Carroll's original illustrations that he drew for Alice's Adventures Underground.
Later life[]
Edith died in 1876, at the age of 22, shortly before she was to be married. In addition to her connections to the famous story, she is immortalized in a stained-glass window as Saint Catherine of Alexandria at The Christ Church in Oxford, England.
