Jimbo you're right. Lewis Carrol published 'Alice in Wonderland' in 1865. He wrote it for a girl named Alice and he meant the book to be for young audiences. Dreamy all the way through, and unlike many other childrens books of the time, 'Alice in wonderland' has no moral message.
Lewis Carrol was a lecturer in mathematics and enjoyed a good toke on the opium pipe, or many are led to believe. The drink absinthe was popular at the time; the effect of the drink was dreamy, heavy, and intoxicating. Who wouldn't drink the stuff if it made one feel that good? This is why I think the book turned out the way that it did, but the speculation is all mine, with no literary backing whatsoever.
