From the Inside Flap

In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford  mathematician with a stammer, created a story about  a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus  began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the  most popular heroine in English literature.  Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of  the Alice books--with those  wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts,  Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock  Turtle, the Mad Hatter et al.--by proclaiming that  they really comprise a satire on language, a  political allegory, a parody of Victorian children's  literature, even a reflection of contemporary  ecclesiastical history. Perhaps, as Dodgson might have  said, Alice is no more than a  dream, a fairy tale about a trials and tribulations  of growing up--or down, or all tumed round--as  seen through the expert eyes of a child.
