In the enchanting world of dormice, one cannot help but be captivated by their adorable and slumberous nature. The Hazel Dormouse, scientifically known as Muscardinus avellanarius, is a small mammal that finds solace in the peaceful realm of sleep. Found predominantly in Kent, UK, these charming creatures are particularly active during autumn when they prepare for their long winter hibernation. The image of a dormouse nestled within a Rowan Tree brings to mind Lewis Carroll's beloved tale "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. " Who can forget the iconic scene where Alice discovers a sleepy dormouse tucked away inside a teapot? Ernest Barraud beautifully captured this moment in his 1887 painting, showcasing the whimsical encounter between Alice and her furry friend. Carroll's imaginative world further comes alive with Sir John Tenniel's wood engravings depicting the Mad Tea Party. Amongst the eccentric characters like the March Hare and Hatter sits our drowsy companion - the Dormouse. In both illustrations from 1865 editions of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, " we witness this delightful creature adding its unique charm to an already extraordinary gathering. Beyond literature and art lies reality; dormice indeed possess fascinating habits. As winter approaches, they diligently fatten themselves up for hibernation. The Common Dormouse exemplifies this behavior as it prepares to enter its deep slumber until spring arrives once again. Whether found snoozing amidst lush hazel trees or joining peculiar tea parties with curious humans, there is no denying that dormice hold a special place in our hearts. So let us celebrate these endearing creatures who remind us that sometimes all we need is a cozy spot to rest our weary heads while dreaming about adventures yet to come.
