An Insider’s Library
t
he 1946 edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
and Through the Looking
Glass and What Alice
Found There that recently
became part of the Crossett Library’s
collection features elements even
stranger than a blue, hookahsmoking caterpillar or a dance
called the Lobster Quadrille. In
the illustrations of this book, small photo-heads of Carolyn “Crossie”
Crossett Rowland ’37 have been pasted over the face of Alice. And that’s not all: Photographs of other
people have been glued to the pages, specific lines underlined, and
beautiful red ribbons placed to mark
the alterations—all clearly inside jokes.
