Happy Alice Fell Down the Rabbit Hole Day for all those who Celebrate

Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass," was born in London, England on May 4, 1852.
10-year-old Liddell once asked family friend Charles Dodgson (who wrote under the pen name Lewis Carroll) to entertain her and her two sisters with a story while they travelled in a rowboat. As the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed the boat, Dodgson told the girls fantastic stories of a girl, named Alice, and her adventures after falling into a rabbit-hole.

"Alice waited a little, half expecting to see it again, but it did not appear, and after a minute or two she walked on in the direction in which the March Hare was said to live. 'I've seen hatters before,' she said to herself; 'the March Hare will be much the most interesting, and perhaps as this is May, it won't be raving mad—at least not so mad as it was in March.' As she said this, she looked up, and there was the Cat again, sitting on the branch of a tree."

"The Hatter was the first to break the silence. 'What day of the month is it?' he said, turning to Alice: he had taken his watch out of his pocket, and was looking at it uneasily, shaking it every now and then, and holding it to his ear.

Alice considered a little, and then said 'The fourth.'

'Two days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. 'I told you butter would not suit the works!' he added, looking angrily at the March Hare.

'It was the best butter,' the March Hare meekly replied."
