Our post on the controversies and pseudo-controversies surrounding Carroll’s character generated some small discussion (“teach the controversy”, as the Kansas School Board might advocate). The folks at Contrariwise continued with a longer reaction. I quote Ms. Karoline Leach at length: from Alice in the Shadows by Maria Bodmann [...] we send our sincere thanks to [...] And the winner of the 2009 Elizabeth Mrazik-Cleaver Award is… Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland By Lewis Carroll Illustrated by Oleg Lipchenko ISBN 978-0-88776932-0 Horray for Oleg! “…Oleg Lipchenko has turned this classic story into a rich expression for both the youngest reader greeting Alice for the first time and those who remember [...] Drew Friedman's illustration in The Nation It seemed inescapable that at some point someone would compare the Tea Party movement to Lewis Carroll’s famous tea party.
