Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Alice is sitting on the riverbank with her elder sister, and is suffering from boredom, when a rabbit runs past her, muttering 'I'm late, I'm late!'. When Alice sees that the rabbit has a pocket watch AND a pocket to keep it in, she decides that the rabbit looks like an interesting alternative to being bored on the riverbank, so she follows him down the rabbit hole. This is the beginning of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and leads on to events that most of us are particularly familiar with ... The shrinking and the growing and the 'shutting up like a telescope', the pool of Alice's tears, her infamous interlude with a hookah smoking caterpillar, the Dutchess and the pig, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter's tea party, a game of croquet, the mock turtle, Alice's trial, and of course the 'it was all a dream' ending. And the entire story is interspersed with endearing pieces of nonsense verse, illogic, and vibrantly described fantasy realms.
