Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll, 1865

Bored on a riverbank one hot afternoon, a curious girl named Alice follows a White Rabbit with a pocket watch down a rabbit-hole and tumbles into Wonderland, where bottles and cakes change her size and animals argue with her about everything. She meets a grinning cat who can vanish, a tea-party that never ends and a Queen who loves to shout orders. It is a playful story full of puns and nonsense that keeps asking a simple question: who are you, really?
