The excitement begins when the well-mannered and sensible Alice follows an elusive White Rabbit down the hole to Wonderland. Along the way, the bewildered girl is given dubious advice from a haughty caterpillar, an honored seat at a Mad Tea Party, and an invitation to the royal croquet match from a grinning Cheshire cat. . . . What to do? When Alice steps through a mirror she walks into the fantastic realm of lunacy and nonsensical fun. During the journey, she meets the unforgettable characters Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, the Walrus and the Carpenter, and the Lion and the Unicorn. Fantasy blurs reality in a world where nothing is as it seems, populated by living chess pieces, talking flowers, and giant "Looking Glass" insects.
Lewis Carrolll was the pen name for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, one of 11 children of an English Clergyman. Always uncomfortable in the company of adults, his friendship with the three young daughter of an associate led him to write the classic Alice in Wonderland in 1865.
