Series includes 12 tiled plaques, one for each chapter of the Alice in Wonderland book.

In researching the story, I found an interesting analysis done by Marc Edmund Jones, a member of Sabian philosophy, which states that the whole substance of the Alice narratives is made up of 12 great principles of Wisdom in the Philosophy of Concepts, for the solution of personal problems. I have integrated the Jones narrative by titling each piece with his title. The Carroll titles are printed on an added piece lower down in the plaque. It was fascinating to read the interpretation when remembering the story from childhood.
