Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Also known as Alice in Wonderland
Synopsis
Alice follows a rabbit in a waistcoat and falls into a country that treats logic as a party game. Size, time, and courtroom manners all misbehave, and Carroll’s pleasure is in showing a sensible child how ridiculous the rules of adults look when they are taken literally.
