In the golden sunset, we gently row on the Thames and my three little friends ask me to tell a story. "Come on! Start telling us," the first one impatiently shouts. The second one asks for a silly story. The third one keeps interrupting.   It was during that boat ride that this strange Wonderland was born, funny, absurd but also wise, home to the most bizarre creatures. And you, my true Alice, now that your story is ready, keep it written in your childlike heart, like a gift and a dream, forever preserved.
