A Perfect Time for Alice
Posted by Penelope O'Gara on November 08, 2020 |
Well, what an interesting year this has turned out to be.... although by "interesting", I actually mean "unforeseeably crazy". Maybe that's why "Alice" came to the fore? Perhaps we have all fallen down a rabbithole...
Lewis Carroll was not the first to notice the craziness of hatters - apparently the phrase "mad as a hatter" was first used about one Robert Crab, an eccentric Englishman who, in the 1650s, gave all his goods to the poor and lived on dock leaves and grass.
