A fantasy forum without an Alice thread...

... isn't really a fantasy forum.

So let's talk about what I certainly think is the greatest children's novel of all time, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and it's followup, Through the Looking Glass (and what Alice found there)!

Oh, and before anybody asks, my favorite rhyme from Alice is "The Walrus and the Carpenter".

Absolutely!!

"When I use a word", Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less."

That´s one of my all times favourite quotes! Both books have plenty of great quotes.

yes! not to mention the tea party....

ha! "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?"

Easy! The notes which they are noteworthy for noting are not noted to be notable notes. Really! At least, that's what Dodgson (Carroll) said elsewhere.

Right!

he gave also another answer, but i cannot remember it now.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

I have always been fond of the poem about snarks and boojums. I find that I still remember most of it verbatim. Made quite an impression.

"come listen my men...."
