Notes

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, first published in 1865, is a whimsical and surreal children’s novel that has become one of the most enduring and beloved works in English literature. The story follows a curious young girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole and finds herself in a fantastical world filled with eccentric characters, such as the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts. In Wonderland, logic is turned upside down, animals talk, time behaves unpredictably, and nonsense rules over reason. As Alice navigates this strange realm, she encounters a series of absurd, dreamlike adventures that challenge her perception of reality and identity. Blending satire, wordplay, and imaginative fantasy, Lewis Carroll’s novel is both a playful children’s tale and a subtle critique of Victorian society, celebrated for its creativity, wit, and enduring charm.
