Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Another Midwest Journal Writers' Club Selection
About this book:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel. Written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
Alice is feeling bored while sitting on the
riverbank with her sister, when she notices a talking, clothed White
Rabbit with a pocket watch run past. She follows it down a rabbit
hole when suddenly she falls a long way to a curious hall with many
locked doors of all sizes. She finds a small key to a door too small
for her to fit through, but through it she sees an attractive garden.
She then discovers a bottle on a table labelled "DRINK ME",
the contents of which cause her to shrink too small to reach the key
which she has left on the table. A cake with "EAT ME" on it
causes her to grow to such a tremendous size her head hits the
ceiling...
