| Alice in Wonderland | ||||||||||
| Lewis Carroll wrote two celebrated stories about a girl named Alice: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Both follow a young girl who wanders into strange dream worlds where ordinary logic no longer applies. In the first story Alice falls down a rabbit hole and enters a curious underground land where she meets a series of unusual characters, including the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts, while experiencing strange changes in size and taking part in a series of puzzling encounters before eventually waking from the dream. In the second she steps through a mirror into a world arranged like a chessboard, where she travels across the landscape as if she were a chess piece, meeting figures such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the White Queen, and Humpty Dumpty, until she finally reaches the last square and becomes a queen before the dream ends. The two books combine fantasy, wordplay, and playful challenges to logic, and they have remained among the most widely read works of children’s literature since the nineteenth century.. | ||||||||||
