Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Delighting both adults and children since it was first published in 1865, Lewis Carroll's Wonderland turned the rules of Victorian behaviour upside down, and uses clever wordplay to transform logic into nonsense. Alice is a steadfastly sensible child lost in a bewildering world of silly adults. Through the strange challenges she faces, Carroll explores themes of childhood, identity and justice, and creates a reality in which there is no other option but to accept the absurd. --front flap
