Alice in Wonderland
by Lewis Carroll
Note: This is an abbreviated 1916 edition (under half the length). Try Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for the original book, which includes 42 illustrations by John Tenniel. The source of myth and lyrics, references, and assumptions is pure pleasure in prose for most children. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's understandable use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or discuss the so-called opium use, young readers dive through a rabbit hole with Alice to chase "A Dream Boy Moving on the Ground/Wonders of the Wild and the New." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the False Turtle and the Mad Hatter, as well as many other characters, as well as extinct, fantastic and banal creatures. Alice travels through this Wonderland and tries to understand the meaning of her strange experiences. However, it turns out that they are " more interesting and interesting " without morality and meaning in appearance. For 150 years, children have unleashed the wonderful non-moralistic, uneducated virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new friends mock her traditional upbringing. For example, the cynical turtle notices that he has completed a "normal course" in school: surprising, curling and arithmetic ambition, distractions, ugliness and branches of ridicule.
