John sent me the picture below of a corn maze designed to look like a scene from Alice in Wonderland.
It got me thinking about Alice’s other outdoor appearances, like the Mad Tea Party topiary at Disney or the statue in Central Park, New York City.
“Alice and her cast of storybook friends found their way to Central Park in 1959, when philanthropist George Delacorte commissioned this bronze statue as a gift to the children of New York City. … Engraved around the statue are lines from his nonsensical poem, The Jabberwocky. …
“Created by the Spanish-born American sculptor José de Creeft, the piece depicts Alice holding court from her perch on the mushroom. The host of the story’s tea party is the Mad Hatter, a caricature of George Delacorte. The White Rabbit is depicted holding his pocket watch, and a timid dormouse nibbles a treat at Alice’s feet.” More.

Wonderful. Thanks for posting! Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of my late friend’s favorite stories. I’m really pleased that such a cool literary figure reminds me of her. I’m also pleased to know that these places exist. I’ll be keeping my eye out for more appearances.
I’d love to know about more.
That is so cool looking. Cheers!
I wish I had been able to find more info on it — where it is, for example.
That corn maze is a-maze-ing!! (Sorry–I couldn’t resist.)
You make me smile!
