Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's (Lewis Carrol's) story of a child's dreamworld in which a little girl finds herself after falling down a rabbit hole and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, have had a lasting influence on people of all ages. These two stories are discovered with fascination by each new generation and are reread by older people with a feeling of new discovery.
"The why of this book cannot, and need not, be put into words," Lewis Carroll once said of Alice. "Those for whom a child's mind is a sealed book, and who see no divinity in a child's smile would read such words in vain; while for any one who has ever loved one true child, no words are needed."
One of the truly great classics of world literature.

Work Description
A very real little girl named Alice follows a remarkable rabbit down a rabbit hole and steps through a looking-glass to come face to face with some of the strangest adventures and some of the oddest characters in all literature. The crusty Duchess, the Mad Hatter, the weeping Mock Turtle, the diabolical Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire-Cat, Tweedledum and Tweedledee--each one is more eccentric, and more entertaining, than the last. And all of them could only have come from the pen of Lewis Carroll, one of the few adults ever to enter successfully the children's world of make-believe--a wonderland where the impossible becomes possible, the unreal, real...where the heights of adventure are limited only by the depths of imagination.
