I'm obsessed with Alice in Wonderland and also Alice Through The Looking Glass. Who is she? Why has she fascinated so many men, women, boys and girls for so long? Of course Walt Disney almost rendered her unrecognizable. My new novel, ALL ALICES, is about a teenage girl who loves the Alice books and works as an "Alice" at a Wonderland theme park. She becomes confused about her identity, which is very much a theme in Lewis Carroll's works. Alice is constantly asking who she is and the only character in the book who tells her she is a human is a fawn. I remember meeting a British woman in her forties who told me she was so scared of the Alice books that she wouldn't read them until she was an adult. And Alice is frightening. She almost drowns in her own tears. She is constantly threatened. And to me, one of the most frightening images is of a baby that turns into a pig. What do you think? Does Alice belong in children's literature?Alice in Wonderland
