Description from publisher's site:
Should the Cheshire Cat’s grin make us reconsider the nature of reality?

Can Humpty Dumpty make words mean whatever he says they mean?

Can drugs take us down the rabbit hole?

Is Alice a feminist icon?

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has fascinated children and adults alike for generations.

Why does Lewis Carroll introduce us to such oddities as blue caterpillars who smoke hookahs, cats whose grins remain after their heads have faded away, and a White Queen who lives backwards and remembers forwards?

Is it all just nonsense?

Was Carroll under the influence?

This book probes the deeper underlying meaning in the Alice books, and reveals a world rich with philosophical life lessons. Tapping into some of the greatest philosophical minds that ever lived—Aristotle, Hume, Hobbes, and Nietzsche—Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy explores life’s ultimate questions through the eyes of perhaps the most endearing heroine in all of literature.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): jam

Before reading this, I must say that I really hadn't thought much into Alice's story beyond reading it for pure enjoyment.

Answers? yes you'll get some answers. It was interesting to read how others interpret the characters and sequences in the book. Sure puts a spin on what Lewis Carroll wrote.

And you'll get tie-ins with today's world.

For another fresh look on the Alice phenomena, this book is sure to please - provided you've read Alice first, of course ;-D

During Alice in Whatsitland week in March, my daughter was inspired to make this for me, an Alice fairy (wings retracted). Thanks and hugs to my sweetie!

Although svb has seen the latest Alice movie, it's interesting to note that she has not yet read the original by Lewis Carroll.
