Part VII Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

What Alice finds outside the March Hare’s house under a tree are the March Hare, the Mad Hatter and the Door Mouse all sitting at the corner of a large table having tea.

At the end of Alice’s last adventure, she has arrived at a house but doesn’t know whose it is.

Thankfully,Mouse had a plan though on howContinue reading “Part III Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”

Failing in her attempt to climb up the table, she decides to eat a little cake left in a box underContinue reading “Part II Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

For Christmas I received a ‘listening library’ of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland from Jon M. I found it interesting on reading the cover of it that the author, Lewis Carroll was such a diverse person, a mathematician, photographer and clergyman. At Sara’s suggestion, I would like to share some observations and thoughts as I enjoyContinue reading “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”
