Alice in Wonderland Jigsaw Puzzle

`At any rate I'll never go there again!' said Alice as she picked her way through the wood. `It's the stupidest tea-party I ever was at in all my life!'

That's how Alice sums up the tea party from Lewis Carroll's immortal story, published in 1865. Here we see the table set out under a tree, and the March Hare and the Hatter are having tea at it. A Dormouse is sitting between them, fast asleep. The table is a large one, but the three are all crowded together at one corner of it: `No room! No room!' they cry out when they see Alice coming. `There's plenty of room!' says Alice indignantly, and she sits down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table. Rodney Matthews, the world famous fantasy artist, has made this scene a feast for the eyes. The puzzle is packed in a box that looks like a book and its 500 pieces create a circular image 20” in diameter.

Plush Cheshire Cat

And why does it grin like that? It's the Cheshire Cat, of course. Designed by John Tenniel for Lewis Carroll, this is the original author's design of the most famous disappearing cat in history. With tail extended, he's 24 inches long, and sure to enchant a catlover's heart.

"Please would you tell me", said Alice, a little timidly, for she was not quite sure whether it was good manners for her to speak first, "why does your cat grin like that?" "It's a Cheshire cat", said the Duchess, "and that's why"!
