Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a now classic book written for children that is sufficiently laden with wit, intelligence, and brilliant imagination to command the attention of adult readers as well. The repute of its author, Lewis Carroll, appears to have survived speculative revisionist histories which suggested that his relationships with the young girls for whom he created Alice were of less than totally honorable intent. Whatever conclusions history might ultimately draw about his personal life will doubtlessly have no effect whatever on the ongoing popularity of both Alice and its sequel, Through the Looking Glass; these works transcend both author and generations. The content and the characters have earned the status of myths of contemporary Western civilization, embedded in the cultural consciousness. One would be hard pressed to find someone of even minimal education who doesn’t know of the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat
