Alice in Wonderland is an enduring creation from author Lewis Carroll, who wrote this lively tale for children, but which has found a large audience in older readers. Alice in Wonderland became a heroine for many because she represented the spirit of another dimension, the knowledge that there are realms beyond our imagination, beyond the looking glass, where magic and wonder are the rules, not the exception.
“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Wouldn’t it be grand if there was a world out there in which magic and wonder are real? Where everything you’ve ever known gets turned on its head and then spun 380 degrees around, so by the time you turn back to the origin, you’ll have ice cream in your mouth?
The boat floated lazily down the river. Reverend Duckworth piloted the craft while Lewis Entertained Lorina, Edith, and Alice. It is said he wove a tale on the spot to entertain the children, and young Alice Liddell urged him to write it on paper. He did so, and the rest is history.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”
~ Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
“Huh? Who are you? Where are you going? Curioser and curioser. But you ain’t leaving until you tell me, why is a raven like a writing-desk?”
