Listening to Alice in Wonderland

We recently listened to the books-on-tape version of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass in the van. This was produced by the BBC and wonderfully narrated in the understated way one can imagine Lewis Carroll himself would have. Supriya has seen the musical version before and was familiar with the story. She really enjoyed the wonderful narration and got all the jokes.

As I listened, my first thought was Lewis Carroll must have been high on drugs or something! Some kind of serious trip for sure. The Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is supposed to be about LSD. AinW and TtLG are no less psychedelic. I wonder what they are about!
