Martin Gardner did a fine job of explaining many of the references in “Alice” that are obscure to us moderns. That is, he placed “Alice” in Carroll’s world, but that doesn’t prevent each reader from bringing their own world to bear when finding what “Alice” means to them, a meaning that may well change as they grow.
This is wonderful. I really enjoyed reading it.
Thanks so much, Tracy!
