Príbehy o Alici v krajine zázrakov a za zrkadlom, ktoré povymýšľal a spísal ešte v 19. storočí anglický matematik a profesor na univerzite v Oxforde Lewis Carroll, sa stali obľúbenými prakticky na celom svete. Alicu poznajú deti a dospelí rovnako ako Pippi Dlhú pančuchu, Pinocchia alebo Medvedíka Pú. Je známa vec, že matematici majú už z titulu svojho zamestnania neraz veľkú tvorivú fantáziu a zmysel pre obdivuhodné kombinácie, paradoxy a nezmysly. Zmysel pre krásne a bláznivé nezmysly mal aj Lewis Carroll – a jeho Alica sa v tom fantastickom nezmyselnom svete pohybuje s detskou samozrejmosťou a bezstarostnosťou, až dospelí nevychádzajú z údivu. A občas si pritom aj zaveršuje a zaspieva. Jej bláznivé príbehy by mali pobaviť nielen deti, ale aj rodičov či už starých alebo mladých.
