The original version of Alice In Wonderland was written by Mathematician Charles Lutwidge, in 1865, under the name of Lewis Carroll. It was illustrated by John Tenniel. The book was not titled 'Alice In Wonderland.' The actual name of the book was 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland.' The date of publication was November 26th, 1865. The Mad Hatter was, of course, very interesting, being the very first one. In the story, he tells Alice that he is stuck in a tea party that is never-ending. He explains that The Queen Of Hearts forced him to stay there, because he tried to sing for her once, a long time ago. He is able to leave this fate, but it will always be 6:00 for the Mad Hatter and The March Hare. If you've seen the 1951 movie version, that line may change your views on the Hatter, and his mad ways of thinking. This version of The Mad Hatter was both a hatter and a messanger, who found the most joy in tea, and loved reciting his poem, 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat,' which made no sense to anyone but The Hatter. This version of The Mad Hatter was very interesting, and the start to the entire Mad Hatter craze.
