Summary
Summary
One of America’s best-known stories in all of literature began with the imagination-stretching tale of probably the most famous little girl in English literature. Alice was a character surrounded by exotic caricatures with “nonsense” seeming to be a reasonable description. But, even the story’s fictional Queen of Hearts said, “Every joke should have a meaning.” In an oblique manner, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland provided just that, prompting one comment, “These are not stories for children, but are the only books in which all of us become children.” That is sufficient to invite you to follow us and “Alice” down the infamous “rabbit hole.”

Author Bio: Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), English author, mathematician, and photographer. One of eleven children of a scholarly country parson, he studied mathematics at Oxford, obtained a university post, and then was ordained as a deacon but found true success with his masterpiece, Alice’s Adventures Under Ground, now known as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which originated as a story told to a young friend, Alice Liddell, during a boating trip on the Thames. Among his other works are Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, The Hunting of the Snark, and Jabberwocky.
