The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children.

Alice doesn’t know why a white rabbit whisked her off to a land full of wonders, but the lines of reality have blurred, and she thinks she’s in a dream. It must be, since the white rabbit is a handsome man who’s confessed his undying love for her, and his whimsical Country of Hearts is surprisingly vicious.

At long last, the story of Peter White!
