Synopsis

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. The story follows a young girl named Alice down a rabbit hole and into a fantasy world filled with anthropomorphic creatures. This vook explores some of the imaginative creatures she meets on her dazzling adventure, including a talking cheshire cat, a humorous white rabbit who is in a constant state of hurry and the daunting Queen of Hearts who she must escape to find her way back home. Alice in Wonderland plays with logic, and its interesting and unique story lines have made it hugely popular with children and adults alike.

Amazon.com Review
Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense.

For more than 130 years, children have reveled in the delightfully non-moralistic, non-educational virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new companions scoff at her traditional education. The Mock Turtle, for example, remarks that he took the "regular course" in school: Reeling, Writhing, and branches of Arithmetic-Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Carroll believed John Tenniel's illustrations were as important as his text. Naturally, Carroll's instincts were good; the masterful drawings are inextricably tied to the well-loved story.
