Questions? What does it all mean?

Because of the nature of the book and the way it was written, many questions have arisen from readers. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions.

Q: The mad hatter has a card on his hat that says 10/6 - what does that mean exactly?
A: The card is a price tag in 'old' English money: pounds, shillings and pennies, which was then written as l/s/d.

Lewis Carroll has explained the meaning of the tag in his 'Nursery Alice':

The Hatter used to carry about hats to sell: and even the one that he's got on his head is meant to be sold. You see it's got its price marked on it - a "10" and a "6" - that means "ten shillings and sixpence."
Ten shillings and six pennies (expressed in conversation as "Ten-and-Six") was quite a large sum in the mid-1800's.

Q: I heard the Alice books were banned in China. Is this true, and why?

A: The Alice books were indeed banned in China; it was in 1931 by the Governor of Hunan Province, on the grounds that "animals should not use human language" and that it was "disastrous to put animals and human beings on the same level."
