Alice in Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass

Oh, this book is a trip. A children's story, no doubt, but a re-read at 17 actually left me open mouthed at its deceptive status as a ‘mere children's books.' Lots of hidden symbolism, meaning and metaphor, fun wordplay and overall just a delight to read. ‘Not just a children's book.' This one is very, very clever. How many people know that Lewis Carroll (actual name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was also a mathematician?
