Alice
White Rabbit

The Mad Hatter is one of the few characters in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland whose physical description is missing in Lewis Carroll’s text, and it is only known through the illustrations by John Tenniel that accompany the original publication of the book and Tenniel’s depiction of the Mad Hatter has become the conventional image of the character.
