📖 Biography
Mad Hatter is one of Wonderland's strangest and most memorable residents, best known for hosting an endlessly chaotic tea party alongside the March Hare and Dormouse. In Lewis Carroll's original stories, he is simply called the Hatter, while the name Mad Hatter became widely associated with him through later adaptations. His riddles, wordplay, eccentric behavior, and unusual ideas about time make him a constant challenge to Alice's understanding of the world. Across Disney films, television appearances, comics, anime, and video games, the character has become an enduring symbol of Wonderland's playful absurdity.
