Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

In Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland [1865], the young girl Alice falls down a rabbit hole into an underground fantasy world populated by unforgettable anthropomorphic figures: the White Rabbit, the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, the Mad Hatter, the grinning Cheshire Cat, the pompous Queen of Hearts… With great ingenuity, the author plays with logic and colorful characters, something that has made the book beloved for generations and secured its place as one of English literature's most indispensable and influential works – not least through countless adaptations for film and theater. LEWIS CARROLL, the pseudonym for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - born in 1832 in Daresbury, Cheshire, and died in 1898 in Guildford, Surrey - was a British author, mathematician, and logician.
