Who is the Mad Hatter?
Read the Wikipedia article on the Mad Hatter, or Hatta.
The Hatter is a fictional character initially encountered at a tea party in Lewis Carroll's Alices Adventures in Wonderland and later again as "Hatta" in the storys sequel, Through the Looking-Glass. He is popularly referred to as the "Mad Hatter", but is never called by this name in Carroll's book?although the Cheshire Cat does warn Alice that he is mad, and the Hatter's eccentric behaviour supports this. Likewise, the chapter in which he first appears, "Category: wikisource - :Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Chapter 7|A Mad Tea-Party", is often called "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party". He has been portrayed on film by Edward Everett Horton, Sir Robert Helpmann, Martin Short, Peter Cook, Anthony Newley, Ed Wynn, Andrew-Lee Potts, Johnny Depp, in music videos by Tom Petty and Steven Tyler, and in New York City by Ragtime Mark Birnbaum.
