Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

More about the book

'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit - hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child - friend Alice Liddell. In the nonsensical Wonderland and the back - to - front Looking - Glass kingdom, order is turned upside - down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea - party; and a chaotic game of chess makes 7 - year - old a Queen.
