Hunt says that since their publication, Carroll's Alice stories, which are filled with wonderful characters, such as the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts, have never been out of print. "They have entertained generation after generation and provided an inexhaustible source of inspiration for some of the world's most creative minds."

He says the "openness, capacity for relentless interpretation and truly global appeal" of Carroll's work ceaselessly attracts people from around the world to "reshape a classic English fantasy".
