Lewis Carroll introduced us to Alice in his 1865 novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” She followed a talking white rabbit down a rabbit hole under a hedge, and arrived in Wonderland, a surreal, nonsensical world of talking animals, bloodthirsty croquet-players, vanishing cats and unexpected transformations.
