Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (often shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is generally thought of as one of the greatest books for children in the history of English literature, and has also been enjoyed by many older readers. It was written by the English writer Lewis Carroll (a pseudonym: his real name was Charles Dodgson) in 1865 , but still seems original today and was recently made into a successful film by the American director Tim Burton.
The story of Alice in Wonderland takes place in a strange fantasy world that is sometimes amusing and sometimes a bit frightening. It contains all sorts of strange characters, including many talking animals. Few events seem to follow any logic, many characters talk in an odd way or ask questions that are impossible to answer, and nothing appears real.
The main character is Alice, a seven-year-old girl. One summer day she is sitting by a river with her sister when she sees something very strange; a white rabbit wearing a coat and a watch. Curious, she runs after the rabbit and arrives at a large rabbit hole in the ground, which she decides to enter. She starts falling down the hole, and when she gets to the bottom she finds herself in a different world.
Among the many bizarre things Alice finds in this different world are a liquid that makes her very small when she drinks it; a talking caterpillar sitting on a mushroom; a smiling cat that disappears but leaves its smile behind; a tea party that never ends; a game of croquet where the mallets are flamingoes and the balls are hedgehogs; and a playing card, the Queen of Hearts, that has come to life and has a very bad temper.
At the end of the story Alice is suddenly back by the river again, with her sister telling her she has been asleep. We then understand that her strange journey was a dream.
One big difference between the book and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is that in the film Alice is nineteen, not seven. The film also has some characters and events that are not from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland but instead from the sequel that Lewis Carroll wrote in 1871 : Through the Looking-Glass.
