 |
 |
 |
| Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Alice, aka Katyana LaRoe Hall. On her 6th birthday, she was trying to catch a White Rabbit, who was wearing a waistcoat and holding a pocket watch, when she fell into a rabbit hole and ended up in a very strange place indeed. |
 |
 |
| There was a long table set for tea where a Mad Hatter (otherwise known as Uncle Robert) served from all but one teapot. That one had a dormouse in it! There were cups to drink tea from and cups to eat. As the children arrived, they picked up a key and sipped colored and flavored water with tags printed "Drink Me" that made them shrink enough to get into the bouncer. |

| There were signs on the trees indicating "This way" and "That way," and "Don't step on the mome raths." The latter pointed down to little creatures clustered at its base. There was a bed of colorful flowers--some with faces. |

| Other pages in the website include Wonderland, Lewis Carroll and Alice in Popular Culture. I'd love to hear your responses to the website--Alice, Wonderland, Lewis Carroll or the movies made about them. Just write me at b.silvey@sbcglobal.net. |
