Alice the Cat

Product Information

Below you can find famous quotes from the books “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice found there”. Bill the Lizard may be a play on the name of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. [26] One of Tenniel's illustrations in Through the Looking-Glass—the 1871 sequel to Alice—depicts the character referred to as the "Man in White Paper" (whom Alice meets on a train) as a caricature of Disraeli, wearing a paper hat. [27] The illustrations of the Lion and the Unicorn (also in Looking-Glass) look like Tenniel's Punch illustrations of William Ewart Gladstone and Disraeli, although Gardner says there is "no proof" that they were intended to represent these politicians. [28] How Doth the Little Crocodile"—a parody of Isaac Watts' nursery rhyme, " Against Idleness and Mischief" [35] The journey began at Folly Bridge, Oxford, and ended 5 miles (8.0km) away in Godstow, Oxfordshire. During the trip Carroll told the girls a story that he described in his diary as "Alice's Adventures Under Ground" and which his journal says he "undertook to write out for Alice". [9] Alice Liddell recalled that she asked Carroll to write it down: unlike other stories he had told her, this one she wanted to preserve. [10] She finally received the manuscript more than two years later. [11] Bayley, Melanie (6 March 2010). "Algebra in Wonderland". The New York Times. Archived from the original on 12 March 2010 .

Only a few find the way, some don’t recognize it when they do – some… don’t ever want to.” – Cheshire Cat Annotated Alice; the statement "a grin without a cat" is a reference to mathematics dissociating itself completely from the natural world. As a mathematician, Carroll would have been well familiar with the other meaning of catenary: the curve of a horizontally-suspended chain, which suggests the shape of the cat's grin. [9]Cheshire appears as a short man with golden brown hair curled into ringlets, with bright, curious green eyes. He lives in a cottage full of roses, and creates potions and foods that have magical abilites. Cheshire was known to not treat people particuly nicely when they weren't polite or didn't fit Cheshire's standards. (Spoiler alert from now on). In 'Looking Glass', the third book of the Alice Trilogy by Christina Henry, Hatcher needed help with his Seer powers and Cheshire was sent to come and guide him. Apparently, Hatcher's face was so honest that Cheshire could read it, so basically he could read Hatcher's mind. After Alice had made a deal with Cheshire, he had sent her through a deadly maze to test her and see if she was strong enough to unconciously help Cheshire take control of the whole of the Old City. Alice was sent to the Caterpilar's house which Cheshire then gave her and Hatcher a blue potion to make them smaller and fit into the house. Guiliano, Edward (1980).

In the manga Card Captor Sakura, the Cheshire Cat was portrayed by Eriol Hiragizawa (who was in fact the responsible for taking Sakura into the book). His playful persona, which contrast's with Eriol's, confuses Sakura at first, but he claims that this was his real one.

In the Tokyo Disneyland DreamLights version of the Main Street Electrical Parade, Alice is voiced by Kat Cressida. Kristýna Kohoutová portrayed her in Svankmajer's Alice (her English dub was done by Camilla Power). In the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts, she was voiced by Mika Doi.

According to Brewer's Dictionary (1870), "The phrase has never been satisfactorily accounted for, but it has been said that cheese was formerly sold in Cheshire moulded like a cat that looked as though it was grinning". [a] The cheese was cut from the tail end, so that the last part eaten was the head of the smiling cat. [5] A later edition of Brewer's adds another possible explanation, similar to Maunder's, that a painter in Cheshire once used to paint grinning lions on inns. [2] The dictionary does not expand further on this, its editors possibly considering the connection between cats and lions self-explanatory or obvious.
