Aliceโs Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll
The story of a young girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures.
It is seen as an example of the literary nonsense genre.
A young girl named Alice sits bored by a riverbank, where she suddenly spots a White Rabbit with a pocket watch and waistcoat lamenting that he is late. The surprised Alice follows him down a rabbit hole, which sends her down a lengthy plummet but to a safe landing. Inside a room with a table, she finds a key to a tiny door, beyond which is a beautiful garden. As she ponders how to fit through the door, she discovers a bottle reading “Drink me”. Alice hesitantly drinks a portion of the bottles contents, and to her astonishment, she shrinks small enough to enter the door. However, she had left the key upon the table and is unable to reach it. Alice then discovers and eats a cake, which causes her to grow to a tremendous size. As the unhappy Alice bursts into tears, the passing White Rabbit flees in a panic, dropping a fan and pair of gloves. Alice uses the fan for herself, which causes her to shrink once more and leaves her swimming in a pool of her own tears. Within the pool, Alice meets a variety of animals and birds, who convene on a bank and engage in a “Caucus Race” to dry themselves. Following the end of the race, Alice inadvertently frightens the animals away by discussing her cat.
