Classic Literature

Alice in Wonderland is a delightful tome authored by Lewis Carroll many years ago. Some might find it a bit olde-fashioned. I found it very instructional.

When speaking about his education, the mock turtle, tells Alice that he attended school every day, in order to learn the basics, Reeling and Writhing, and of course, all the branches of Arithmetic, namely, Ambition, Distraction, Uglification and Derision. He also explained that he learned Mystery, both Ancient and Moderne.

Gad Zooks! These subjects are still of interest to young people today!
