Alice's Adventures In Wonderland

by Lewis Carroll

Overview

Having followed the White Rabbit down his rabbit hole, Alice finds herself in Wonderland, surrounded by curious creatures and with no idea of how to return home. From the Caterpillar to the Chesire Cat, tea with the March Hare, the Hatter, and the Dormouse to the ultimate croquet match with the Queen of Hearts, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has enchanted readers since its publication in 1865.

Written by Lewis Carroll (born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) for young Alice Liddell, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was inspired by a boat trip the author took with Alice and her family during which he spun outlandish tales for Alice and her sisters to pass the time.

About the Author

Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English writer, mathematician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. Best known for his classics Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and “Jabberwocky,” Carroll was also an accomplished inventor who created an early version of what is today known as Scrabble. The publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in 1865 brought Carroll a certain level of fame, although he continued to supplement his income through his work as a mathematics tutor at Christ Church, Oxford College. Carroll’s whimsical characters and nonsensical verse resonated with Victorian-era readers, and his books continue to be enjoyed by numerous modern societies dedicated to his promoting his works.
