Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Lewis Carroll · 1865 · Fantasy, Children's & Fable
Down a rabbit-hole and into Wonderland tumbles Alice, where nothing keeps its size or its sense: a White Rabbit frets over the time, a Cheshire Cat grins itself away, a Mad Hatter keeps an endless tea-party, and a Queen of Hearts cries 'Off with their heads!' Lewis Carroll's 1865 masterpiece is the most beloved dream in the English language — pure delight, logic turned merrily inside out, and wonder on every page.
