![Down the rabbit hole Mural artist: @gapeone
In the days of the 21st Century's internet and social media, we are in a position to better appreciate Lewis Carroll's 19th Century insights of getting sucked down a rabbit hole into a surreal crazy land.
“The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.”
