Abstract
Almost everything that Alice encountered in her Adventures in Wonderland was somewhat other than it should have been. A baby turned out to be a pig, white roses were painted red by playing-card gardeners, and a cat disappeared into its own grin. Even the author’s name, Lewis Carroll, was not real but the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
‘Well! l’ve often seen a cat without a grin,’ thought Alice; ‘but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!’ (Dodgson, 1865/1940, p. 94).
