1 If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there – one of the famous Lewes Carrolls quotes. He has been always interesting to all readers and researchers. Pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson English logician, mathematician, photographer, and novelist, especially remembered for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking- Glass. There is no answer to the mystery of Alice's success.

2 Many explanations have been suggested, but, like the Mad Hatter's riddle (The riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all), they are no more than afterthoughts. The book is not an allegory; it has no hidden meaning or message, either religious, political, or psychological, as some have tried to prove; and its only undertones are some touches of gentle satireon education for the children's special benefit and on familiar university types, whom the Liddells may or may not have recognized.

The Wonderland described in the story is a place where logic and rules and reality are turned upside- down in ways that have made the story enduringly popular with adults, as well as children.
