In this book, Peter Hunt mainly discusses the three 'layers' that can be found in the Alice in Wonderland books (including Alice's Adventures Under Ground):
1) Private jokes that only Alice and her sisters would understand;
2) References to things in their society;
3) Dodgson's private thoughts and feelings.
