Carroll, Lewis
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll is a classic novel written in the mid-19th century. It follows the curious and imaginative young girl, Alice, as she embarks on a surreal journey through a fantastical world after falling down a rabbit hole. The story is filled with nonsensical characters and whimsical scenarios that challenge conventional logic and invite readers to explore the absurdity of childhood imagination.  At the start of the tale, Alice finds herself growing bored while sitting beside her sister, leading to her encounter with a peculiar White Rabbit who is in a hurry. Intrigued, Alice pursues the Rabbit and tumbles down a deep hole, entering Wonderland. As she navigates the strange environment, she experiences rapid changes in size, meets eccentric creatures, and grapples with her identity. This opening establishes the book's enchanting tone and sets the stage for Alice's fantastical adventures, which are characterized by illogical encounters and clever wordplay.
