Wonderland or Neverland? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Peter Pan

While all of the characters have their fair share of adventures, Peter Pan is the only one that is a boy who never grows up. He spends his days in Neverland playing with fairies and the Lost Boys, and fighting with pirates.

Answer: Cheshire Cat

The trademark of the Cheshire Cat is his mischievous grin. He can appear and disappear at will, sometimes showing nothing but his smile. He engages Alice in philosophical, if not confusing, discussions while she's trying to find her way through the madness of Wonderland. The following quote in a sample of his simplistic, yet wise, commentary:

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Answer: The laugh of a new baby

Peter explains to Wendy, "When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies."

Wendy explains to Mrs Darling, "When a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies."

Sadly, the life of a fairy is not long since one dies every time a child says, "I don't believe in fairies." Even at the end of "Peter and Wendy", when Peter Pan comes back to visit Wendy a year later he has no memory of Tinkerbell, suggesting she has died.

Answer: Age is unknown

Peter Pan was inspired by author J.M. Barrie's older brother, David, who died in an ice skating accident when he was 13 years old. The death of David had been devastating to their mother but she took solace in the idea that he would always be with her as a young boy who never grew up.

Answer: Michael Darling

In "Alice's Adventure In Wonderland" the Mad Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse are the only people attending the tea party at a very long table when Alice arrives. They are clumped together at the very end of the table and when they see her the Hatter and Hare start yelling "No room! No room!" Seeing there is plenty of room at the table, Alice sits down and joins the party, finding herself pulled into yet another conversation similar to others she's had on her adventure that winds in a confusing misdirection.

Answer: Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily is a Native American princess who lives in Neverland and is saved by Peter Pan when she is caught by Captain Hook boarding his ship with a knife.

In addition to Tootles, Nibs and Curly, the Lost Boys consist of Slightly and The Twins.

Answer: Painting white roses red

When Alice asks them why they are painting the roses red, the cards of spades tell her that they had accidentally planted white roses instead of red roses. Since the Queen hates white roses and would order the removal of their heads for such an error, they are painting the roses in the hopes that she doesn't notice. When the Queen arrives in the garden and finds the white roses she demands the death of the gardeners, but Alice hides them away before it can happen.

In the Queen's realm, the spades are gardeners, the hearts are members of the royal family, the diamonds are courtiers (a courtier is an adviser or member of the royal court), and the clubs are soldiers.

Answer: Bat

Lewis Carroll filled "Alice in Wonderland" with many ridiculous phrases, words, and stories. Among them is "Jabberwocky" and the word "curiouser" -- proper English would be most or more curious.

The original (and not nearly as fun) song lyrics written by Jane Taylor were:

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky."

The Mad Hatter's version:

"Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!"

Answer: Wonderland - it was a dream

In "Alice in Wonderland", Alice was bored sitting by a stream when she first caught sight of the White Rabbit and followed him down the hole. In the last chapter, her sister, who had been sitting with her, shook her awake and Alice shared her dream of her adventures in Wonderland.

While Tinkerbell's dust has some magical properties, it could not just teleport everyone to safety. Also, Peter Pan and the Lost Boys may have been having fun and playing make believe, but Captain Hook and the crocodile were real threats to their escapades.

Answer: Peter Pan

Peter Pan lives "second to the right and straight on til morning."

Wendy Darling's street address is unknown, but the number is 14.

We do not learn where Alice lives.

The Mock Turtle had no address since he was only a dream.
