Who is March Hare in the book Alice in Wonderland?
The March Hare is a character in Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but he also appears in Through the Looking Glass, where he has the name Haigha (pronounced 'hare').
He is most famous for being at the Mad Tea Party in Chapter 7 of Alice's Adventures, which is being held at his house. Apart from Alice, the other guests are the Dormouse and the Hatter.
At the tea party, the March Hare famously offers Alice some wine, despite the fact that there isn't any and also offers here 'more tea' even though she is yet to have some. He is also chastised by the Hatter for having put butter into the Hatter's watch.
The inspiration for the character was the phrase 'mad as a March hare', which stems from a folk belief that Hares go a bit bonkers in the mating season.
Who wrote the poem The mad gardener poems song and the walrus and the carpenter?
"The Mad Gardener's Song," and "The Walrus and the Carpenter," were both written by Lewis Carroll.
The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland is the most famous person to say "off with his head."
In movie versions, her character is often combined with that of the Red Queen, although she was originally an entirely separate person who first appeared in Through the Looking Glass.
"Off with his head" was also said by Queen Margaret in Shakespeare's play Henry VI. It is possible that this may be the original inspiration for Lewis Carroll's tyrannical Queen of Hearts.

This is what Lewis Carroll said in his preface to the 1896 edition of Through the Looking Glass:
"As the chess-problem, given on the previous page, has puzzled some of my readers, it may be well to explain that it is correctly worked out, so far as the moves are concerned. The alternation of Red and White is perhaps not so strictly observed as it might be, and the "castling" of the three Queens is merely a way of saying that they entered the palace; but the "check" of the White King at move 6, the capture of the Red Knight at move 7, and the final "checkmate" of the Red King, will be found, by any one who will take the trouble to set the pieces and play the moves as directed, to be strictly in accordance with the laws of the game."
