Carroll's book is episodic and it divulge further in the circumstances that it
contrives than in any important effort at plot or character examination. Like a
series of mischief poems, stories or mezzanines created additional for their
confuse nature or irrational desireeness, the ocassions of Alice's adventure are
her experiences with incredible but immensely pleasant characters. Carroll
was a master of toying with the eccentricities of speech.
The book starts with young Alice, drill, sitting by a river, reading a book with
her sister. Then Alice grabs sight of a tiny white figure, a rabbit embellished in
a vest and coat and grasp a pocket watch, whispering to himself that he is
behind schedule. She runs after the rabbit and it into a hole. After dropping
down into the bottom of the earth, she search herself in a corridor entire the
doors. At the edge of the corridor, there is a small door with a tiny key through
which Alice can see a marvellous garden that she is craving to enter. She then
marked a bottle labeled "Drink me" and start to shrink until she is tiny enough
to suitable through the door.
Unfortunately, she has left the key that fits the lock on a table, now well out of
her reach. She then finds a cake labeled "Eat me", and is reimposed to her
ordinary size. Disconcerted by this irritating series of affairs.
This unusual start leads to a series of progressively "curiouser and curiouser"
affairs, which see Alice guard a pig, take part in a hi-tea that is held hostage by
time (so never ends), She meets some thriftless and unbelievable characters,
from the Cheshire Cat to a caterpillar smoking a hubble bubble and being
decidedly opoossed. She also, ingeniously, meets the Queen of Hearts.
The book is dazzling for children, but with sufficient hilarity and fun for life in
it to please adults too, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is as pretty as a
picture book with which to take a quick respite from our overly logical and
occasionally dreary universe.
