That is 2 of my favorite books. I wish my old laptop hadn't died because I actually wrote my thesis on the underlying symbolism in Adventure's in Wonderland and I'd love to be able to share it. The amount of depth he managed to layer into what has become regarded as one of the most popular children's tales of all time is just amazing.

What a pity! I wish I could read it. What was the major symbolism that you found in Alice and what does it signify? did you remember anything by chance?
There's the pretty obvious drug references, but there's also a lot of social and political commentary about the times he was living in. For example the queen beheading people... there was a lot... I focused on 4 main aspects of underlying symbolism, but honestly I can't remember half of it anymore, it's been over 10 years. I remember I had a field day writing it though and it was like 10 pages long.
