Note

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a classic children’s novel written by Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, and first published in 1865. Inspired by a story Carroll invented for a young girl named Alice Liddell, the book follows Alice as she falls down a rabbit hole into a fantastical world filled with talking animals, riddles, and absurd logic. Carroll, a mathematician and photographer as well as a writer, used wordplay, parody, and nonsense to challenge Victorian ideas about education, authority, and reason. The novel’s imaginative freedom and playful language have made both Alice in Wonderland and its author enduring influences on children’s literature and fantasy.
