Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a classic tale written by Lewis Carol. This book is about a girl named Alice, who finds her book incredible dull, and chases after a hare, suddenly finding herself in a strange world where nothing is as it seems. Alice begins her journey trying to find a beautiful garden that she saw through a door in Wonderland. As she wanders around Wonderland, meeting the most fantastic and nonsensical characters, Alice has many adventures. She encounters many curious creatures, like a rabbit in a waistcoat, a crying child that turns into a pig, a smoking caterpillar, a Mock Turtle, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the infamous Queen of Hearts.
This book is amazing! It is one of my favorites, for its lively characters, and unpredictable storyline. Many people might be intimidated by this book, because they think they won't be able to understand the old English. This is not true at all, and even if it was it's worth it in the end. This book is blissful and happy, all of the strange characters so curious and imaginative. I love the way that Alice talks with the characters. There is so much more about this than meets the eye, the words so eloquently written, each page a new mystery, Lewis Carol's prose so graceful and beautiful. Everything in this book has a deeper meaning. The movie adaptation is fantastic, but even that cannot capture the beauty of such nonsense. It is like being in a time capsule, remembering yourself as a child, where everything could be something else, and a reminder that that child is still there and forever will be in our hearts. I highly recommend this book, and guarantee that it will always be cherished from the day you open its pages for the first time.
