One of the English language's most popular and frequently quoted
books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was the creation of
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), a distinguished scholar
and mathematician who wrote under the pseudonym of Lewis
Carroll. Intended for young readers but enjoyed equally by
adults, the fantastic tale transformed children's literature,
liberating it from didactic constraints. The story is deeply but
gently satiric, enlivened with an imaginative plot and brilliant
use of nonsense. As Alice explores a bizarre underground world,
she encounters a cast of strange characters and fanciful beasts:
the White Rabbit, March Hare, and Mad Hatter; the sleepy
Dormouse and grinning Cheshire Cat; the Mock Turtle, the
dreadful Queen of Hearts, and a host of other extraordinary
personalities. This beloved classic has delighted readers and
listeners since its first publication in 1865.
Characters: 36. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Classic.
