A raven is a mustard seed, a wardrobe is a drop of honey, a clock is a sun above a table cover, a striped cat is a keyhole in a crocodile's eyes, A cloud is a lucky bag, an ant is the French Revolution, an eiderdown plays the roulette, Alice is a cherry and I’m a forged banknote in her pocket, Things are not what they are but as Charles Dodgson said things are what they aren’t.

When I was about 6 years old I got a big thick Alice in Wonderland color book and a huge box of crayons for Christmas. It was my favorite Christmas gift, ever, and I've always loved Lewis Carroll's stories since then Ida |

Hello Ida, I asked myself wether Walt Disney had realized Alice in Wonderland when you were 6....I am sure considering your imagination that your parents couldn't have made a better choice when they offered you this book from this great english writer and think there can't be a better school and pleasure for writing than to write for kids. Have a very nice day in L.A (here the sky is grey, the people look sad) yann |

Perfect ending "Things are not what they are but as Charles Dodgson said things are what they aren’t" I had never heard that. I will cherish it.sharyn |
