Is the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland late for something?
In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the White Rabbit is concerned that he will be late for an appointment with the Duchess.
`Oh! the Duchess, the Duchess! Oh! won't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!'
Early on in the book, he is constantly worried that he won't arrive on time, but after the incident where Alice gets stuck in his house, he doesn't mention being late again, so we are forced to assume that the appointment has taken place. Whether he was actually late for his meeting is never revealed.
In the 1951 Disney adaptation, the White Rabbit says that he is late several times. I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date. No time to say "hello, goodbye," I'm late, I'm late, I'm late
But other than "a very important date", he never specifies what it is that he is late for. Unlike in the book, he is still rushing around at the end of the story, and arrives at the Queen's croquet ground in a great hurry. It might be inferred that the croquet match is the event he is late for.

What are all the sequels to Alice in Wonderland not just Through the Looking Glass?
The only Alice books are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
But Carroll wrote many other books and pamphlets. His most famous work apart from the two Alice books is his narrative poem The Hunting of the Snark.
He also wrote two books following the adventures of two children, Sylvie and Bruno, who live in Fairyland while being able to interact with people in the real world. (So the books have a dual storyline - a real narrative and a fairy narrative which interweaves with it).
Sylvie and Bruno, and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded are not entirely successful - but they are well worth reading both in themselves and for the hints they give of what later children's fantasists would do.

What is the literary significance of the garden in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?
The garden in Through the Looking Glass has many close similarities with the garden in Tennyson's poem Maud. Any Victorian reader would have noticed them at once.
In Tennyson's poem all of the flowers in the garden are interested only in what is happening with the human characters. In Carroll's story the flowers are interested only in themselves, in fact they are quite rude to Alice.
Carroll was often at his best when he was making fun of another writer.
How is the White Queen described in Alice in Wonderland?
In his article Alice on the Stage, Lewis Carroll says "the White Queen seemed, to my dreaming fancy, gentle, stupid, fat and pale; helpless as an infant; and with a slow, maundering, bewildered air about her just suggesting imbecility, but never quite passing into it; that would be, I think, fatal to any comic effect she might otherwise produce."
Alice is courageous when she faces her fears and takes action despite feeling scared or uncertain. This can manifest in situations where she stands up for what is right, takes risks, or helps others in need without hesitation.
Does Alice in Wonderland have any religious connections?
Lewis Carroll had very strong ideas about religion (he was the son of an important Anglican churchman, and in minor orders himself). Carroll would have greatly disapproved of anyone putting religious messages into a children's story. He certainly would not have done it himself.

What animals make up the Mock Turtle in Alice in Wonderland?
In Tenniel's illustrations, the Mock Turtle is depicted as a sea turtle with the head, rear legs and tail of a cow.
In Victorian times, turtle soup was very popular, but expensive, so poorer people ate mock turtle soup (mock means fake). It was commonly made with veal (cow calf). Tenniel's illustration reflects this, although Carroll makes no reference to it in his original text.
