Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

I'm revisiting my childhood. I am reading a facsimile of the original publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which was given to me when i was 5. Interesting that you don't appreciate books like these half as much when you are young.

"When we were little," the Mock Turtle went on..."we went to school in the sea. The master was an old Turtle - we used to call him Tortoise-----"
"Why did you call him Tortoise, if he wasn't one?" Alice asked.
"We called him Tortoise because he taught us," said the Mock Turtle angrily; "really you are very dull!"

Isn't that gorgeous? The next 3 pages carry on in exactly the same manner. Children's books are seldomly written for children are they?!?

In other news I have decided i want to do my Masters at the Curtis Institute. God that would be cool.
