As long as there's a literary thread going on here, can someone back me up on an article of discussion I'm having with my 14 year old. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are not about drug use (ref. Jefferson Airplane), am I correct? I thought I remembered from some honors English class that one was simply about dreams and surrealism and the other a satire about the smaller England taking on Germany in WWI, but maybe I was mistaken. Any thoughts from you literary laureats?

Favorite books: A whole series by F. Van Wyck Mason on the Revolutionary War, The Putnam Hall Series by Arthur Winfield most memorable in my budding teenage youth. Great Expectations, David Copperfield. Anything by A. Conan Doyle.
