One of the world's largest collections of Alice in Wonderland memorabilia, featuring over 3,000 items, has gone under the hammer at an Oxford auction house for around AGBP70,000 ($A114,863).

The collection which sold on Wednesday, features memorabilia of the fantasy novel by Lewis Carroll - also known as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - was owned by late antiquarian book and prints dealer Thomas Schuster and his wife Greta.

The couple built the collection over 25 years, buying at auctions, antique fairs, and through specialist dealers.

"He created a world of great imagination which we found bewitching. If he had been alive today we would have been the best of friends, as he became one of our best friends through many happy years of collecting his works," said Greta Schuster.
