- Lewis Carroll: Earlier this evening, I commented on a classmate's post about the Jabberwocky, and Carroll's tendency to create delightful poems from gibberish words. As a result, I decided to read more about his interests and writings outside of the Alice books, with which I was already familiar.
- Through the Looking Glass: However, familiarity won out, and I found myself on the page for Through the Looking Glass. I loved learning more about the Jabberwock, and especially love The Walrus and the Carpenter.
- The Walrus and the Carpenter: This has been one of my favorite poems since childhood; although I was creeped out by its depiction in the Walt Disney movie. From this article, I was delighted to learn that the poem was the inspiration for the Beatles' I Am the Walrus.
- Betty in Blunderland: This is a short film featuring Betty Boop. In the animated short, she is completing an Alice in Wonderland puzzle, when she falls asleep and dreams of her own Wonderland adventure.
