The Stripes, The Hookah, and The Sad Hatter

Introduction

You might have heard about the story "Alice in Wonderland," but the author hid some of the facts about Wonderland and its inhabitants. One "character" that he lied about was the red queen. She never said "Off with their heads," but she did feel like doing so to her young, tormented, and evil sister. I mean the "good" sister the white queen, but she isn't as "good" as she seems. Lewis Carroll is the author of "Alice in Wonderland", and he had to hide the truth about Alice Liddell's past, and Alice's own memories as a child. Alice Liddell had tormenting dreams about a drunk hatter, a psycho cat, and a high caterpillar. She started to remember these nightmares-more like memories-a couple of years before she turned 20. The phrase "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast" nearly saved her when she had to face the thing that she was scared of the most.

You would think that "Alice in Wonderland" was a fun adventure, and that it was all kid friendly. The real "Alice in Wonderland" was too scary for little Alice to think about, and so then the book ended up being the version that Alice had to make up, because she was to afraid of the truth, and the people of Wonderland.
