My earliest reading interests in Alice in Wonderland started with this spoof story, in an Agatha Christie companion book. The mash-up chats on crime puzzles at the tea party, with Miss Marple and M. Poirot. I was 14 around that time. - I eventually picked up another copy of this book, at a thrift shop. The one in our old basement was left in a boxed corner, where mould became trouble.
