This article has some holes, but it details some of the ways Carroll may have been a little creepy around young girls, particularly Alice Liddell.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Alice in Wonderland.
An interesting article about de-stigmatizing mental illness for children (relevant to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland AND Winnie the Pooh).
Some beautiful illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. You’ll find that some are black and white and some are colored in.

More party trivia for you!
Great episode, and I especially enjoyed learning about the origin of the Cheshire cat!
Thank you, Josh! I LOVE little bits of trivia, and was tickled at the Cheshire cat bit! I’m glad you liked it too!
