From the mind of Charles Dodgson under the name of Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most well known and beloved stories to come out of Victorian England. It tells the nonsensical story of Alice as she falls down a rabbit hole in the fantasy land of Wonderland. Here she meets a whole host of creatures, from talking animals to a mad hatter to the Queen of Hearts herself, grows and shrinks without any warning or choice, and finds herself in a dozen strange scenarios. Finally she is awoken by her older sister on the river bank to find that it was all a very strange dream.

This book is fun for all ages, and is appropriate for any classroom. Is it political commentary? A critique of Dodgson’s Victorian contemporaries? An interpretation of a child’s view of the goings-on of Oxford? Pure nonsense? Pure genius? One cannot say. But we can be sure that Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland will continue to delight children for years to come.
