Alice in Wonderland is a British children's novel, written by Lewis Carroll in 1865, then followed by the sequel "Alice Through The Looking-Glass" (1871). It has been adapted into plays, films and TV series many times and therefore referenced often on "The Simpsons" too.

Episodes

Season	Episode number	Episode name	Reference
3	37	"Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington"	The painting in the congressman's office is a scene from Alice in Wonderland.
4	81	"Krusty Gets Kancelled"	Krusty tries a ventriloquist act and asks his dummy: "Why is a raven like a writing desk?". The Mad Hatter and March Hare asks Alice the same riddle in the novel, only to admit they don't know the solution either.
6	122	"Lisa's Wedding"	When Lisa visits Wiggum's Fantastical Beastarium a rabbit escapes into the forest, causing Lisa to follow it. This is very reminiscent of how Alice in Wonderland starts off.
7	153	"Summer of 4 Ft. 2"	Lisa is tempted to go into the local library, where she imagines several literary characters asking her to enter. Among them Alice and The Mad Hatter. Alice then warns Lisa "It's a trap", whereupon the Hatter takes Alice at gunpoint.
