Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Alice sets off for an adventure when she follows the White Rabbit down his rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland, a land of pure nonsense, in this classic novel. Throughout her adventure Alice finds herself shrinking and growing resulting from eating and drinking any number of items. Sometimes her height or lack thereof works to her advantage, sometimes it does not. She meets starnge made up characters like the Jabberwocky and unexplainable characters like the Cheshire Cat who appears and disappears at whim. All creatures in Wonderland fear the Queens of Hearts and her horrible temper and as the novel ends Alice soon discovers why. The Queen of Hearts orders Alice's beheading after she expresses disagreement with the King's interpretation of the Knave of Hearts' poem which is judged to mean he is guilty of the crime of stelaing the Queen of Hearts' tarts. Alice awakens suddenly to find herself back at the riverbank where she must have doed off and visited the zany and unforgettable Wonderland.
