Do you know Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? Yes, I think you know!

Alice in Wonderland is an 1865 novel written by Lewis Carroll.

It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.

Here I rebuilt the chapter VII: a Mad Tea-Party

Alice becomes a guest at a "mad" tea party along with the March Hare, the Hatter.

Curiosity: Tenniel's illustrations show a card or label in the Hatter's hatband reading "In this style 10/6". This is the hat's pricetag, indicative of his trade, and giving the price in pre-decimal British money as ten shillings and sixpence (or half a guinea). In decimal money, this would be 52½p.
