Plot[]
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is an 1865 novel written under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. Told in Twelve parts, the first telling about Alice's boredom when she notices a rabbit wearing a waistcoat and pocket watch. Following it she falls down a rabbit hole locating a bottle labelled "Drink Me" which shrinks her and a cake with "Eat Me" one it. Drinking the drink she shrinks and finds herself without a key she once had, leaving it on the now massive table above her. After eating the cake she grows so large she strikes her head on the ceiling causing her to cry and flood the room. Shrinking again she swam through the tears to discover a mouse who speaks French. Coming a shore with several other animals she is amused to see them dry off with a foot race but scares them off asking about her own car. Eventually Alice meets other characters who give her advice, although not all making sense, such as a blue Caterpillar smoking a hookah, a Cheshire Cat and a tea party where the March Hare, Hatter and Dormouse are having a party. Eventually she makes her way to the court of the Red King and Queen who accuse her of stealing tarts with the Knave of Hearts. Denying them and defying them the Queen shouts "Off with her head." As playing cards attack her Alice's sister wakes her from the dream.
