Alices In Wonderland: Part 44

After quite a long delay, I'm picking up the threads of this sequence, so...

The trial, in which the court is trying to determine who stole the tarts, continues.

One of the lesser illustrators of Alice is, of course, Lewis Carroll who did his own illustrations for the first edition, which had the original title "Alice's Adventures Underground". There are a number of facsimile editions of this work that include the illustrations but, if truth be told, hiring a professional (Tenniel) for the first proper publication of the book was a wise decision. Carroll's illustrations are far too naive to appear in a professional work.
