Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

5 C   1964 Lewis Carroll 

Note

One of the most delightfully absurd moments in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the Mad Tea Party, where Alice finds herself seated between the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the perpetually sleepy Dormouse. Time has stopped for them—literally—so it's always six o'clock, meaning it’s always tea time. Cups are shuffled, riddles are asked but never answered ("Why is a raven like a writing desk?"), and logic is tossed out the window in favor of nonsense and whimsy. In Through the Looking-Glass, the fun escalates when Alice becomes a living chess piece, leaping across fantastical squares of a giant chessboard landscape, encountering characters like Tweedledee and Tweedledum and the boastful Humpty Dumpty, each adding their own peculiar twist to her surreal journey.
