"Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

The Mad Hatter is a fictional character created by Lewis Carroll in his novel 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. The phrase "mad as a hatter" pre-dates Carroll's work, both both the Hatter and the March Hare are initially referred to as "both mad". The Mad Hatter explains to Alice that he and the March Hare are always drinking tea, because when he tried to sing for the Queen of Hearts she sentenced him to death for "murdering the time". He escapes decapitation, but in retaliation Time halts himself in respect to the Hatter, keeping him and the March Hare stuck at 6.00 forever - "Tea Time!" The tea party, when Alice arrives, is characterized by switching places on the table at any given time, making short, personal remarks, asking unanswerable riddles and reciting nonsensical poetry, all of which eventually drive Alice away.

The name "Mad Hatter" was clearly done and inspired by the phrase "as mad as a hatter". Mercury was used in the process of curing pelts used in some hats, making it impossible for hatters to avoid inhaling the mercury fumes given off during the hat making process; hatters and mill workers thus often suffered mercury poisoning, causing neurological damage, including confused speech and distorted vision. Hat making was the main trade near where Carroll spent his childhood, and it was not unusual then for hatters to appear disturbed or confused; many died early as a result of mercury poisoning.

He continuously asks Alice for an answer to his riddle at the "Mad Tea Party", and when she gives up and asks for the answer, he admits that he himself does not have one. The Mad Hatter's quirks and oddities have made him a character that has lasted through the ages, perhaps even more popular today than when Carroll created him. This is particularly due to Burton's recent interpretation of the Mad Hatter portrayed by Johnny Depp, solidifying the Mad Hatter as one of the most popular characters in storybook history. The Mad Hatter Mens Costume is therefore one of the best costumes to dress up in for a TV/ Movie party, character party, animation party and loads more! Do you have a Tea Party to go to?
