The tarts belonged to the Queen of Hearts:
'The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts,
All on a summer day:
The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts,
And took them quite away!'
(Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, chapter XI)
"Who Stole the Tarts?"
It was the Frog Footman.
The Hatter didn't take the tarts. In the original book, the Knave of Hearts is accused of stealing them.
In Tim Burton's 2010 Alice in Wonderland the Red Queen does not ask who stole her doves but asks her frog servants who stole her tarts.
At the trial, the knave of hearts was accused of having stolen the tarts. This is probably a pun: when playing cards, the knave is the same as the jack, but in other contexts it means a dishonest person.
No, Alice doesn't steal anything from the Queen of Hearts in the book Alice in Wonderland, but the Knave of Hearts is accused of stealing some tarts that the Queen has made.
All of the poetry in the book Alice in Wonderland, was written by the book's author, Lewis Carroll, except for the poem about the Queen of Hearts, which is a traditional nursery rhyme of unknown authorship. `The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer day: The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!'
In Lewis Carroll's book, the Knave of Hearts is accused of stealing the Queen of Hearts' tarts. In the 1951 Disney movie, Alice is accused of humiliating the Queen during the croquet game.
The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer's day;The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away.The King of Hearts called for the tarts and beat the Knave full soreThe Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts andvowed he'd steal no more.From Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
In the final chapters of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, the Knave of Hearts is tried on the accusation of stealing some tarts made by the Queen of Hearts. The story ends before his trial is completed, but I think it fair to say that the case presented against him is quite weak. The knave of Heart stole the Queens tarts: "The Queen of Heart, she made some tarts, All on a summers day: The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!"
The thief in the Queen of Hearts kitchen was the Knave (Jack) of Hearts, as depicted in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The Knave was accused of stealing the Queen's tarts and put on trial for the crime.
Some good Alice in Wonderland themed savory foods include "Eat Me" mini quiches, Caterpillar cucumber sandwiches, and Mad Hatter tea party finger foods like mini tarts or mini sandwiches in fun shapes. You can also get creative with potions and drinks labeled with "Drink Me" tags to add to the theme.
