I offer my solution.  I didn't bother to make every word lower case, and I
think that would improve the result

Please offer critique, improvements


Some explaination:

line 5 -- I read the complete text into full_text, while first replacing --
with a space
line 7 -- I split the full text string into words
lines 8 - 15 -- Word by word I strip all sorts of characters that aren't in
words from the front and back of each 'word'
lines 11 - 14 -- this is EAFP -- try to add one to the bin with that word,
if no such bin, make it and give it 1
lines 16, 17 -- since dicts don't sort, sort on the keys then loop thru the
keys to print out the key (word) and the count

 17 ordered_keys.sort()
 18 ##print ordered_keys
 19 print "All the words and their frequency in 'alice in wonderland'"
 20 for k in ordered_keys:
