Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, by Lewis Carroll

This meeting will cover both Wonderland and Looking-Glass. Personal recommendation: "The Annotated Alice," edited by mathematician and wordplay connoisseur Martin Gardner, is an excellent guide through the richness of these deceptively simple books.

"On a golden summer afternoon in 1862, a shy, stammering math teacher invented a fairy tale about a little girl named Alice that would become part of the folklore of the world. From that tale came "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass," immortal classics of English literature that are among the most widely read, most admired, most studied, and most often quoted books in the world, relished today as much by adults as by young people." --from the book jacket blurb of "The Annotated Alice."
