"Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll is a beloved children’s novel from the mid-1800s. It tells the story of a young girl named Alice who, feeling drowsy and uninterested while resting near a river, notices an unusual White Rabbit rushing by. Intrigued, she follows it and falls down a rabbit hole into a surreal and imaginative world filled with odd characters and extraordinary escapades.
At the start of the story, Alice is shown lost in thought, daydreaming, when she sees the frantic Rabbit muttering to himself. Driven by curiosity, she chases after him and finds herself descending into a long tunnel that leads to a strange hallway lined with locked doors.
As the adventure begins, Alice undergoes several bizarre transformations in size after consuming strange food and drinks. These changes leave her puzzled and occasionally frustrated as she begins to explore her unusual surroundings and meet the eccentric inhabitants of this fantastical land. The opening scenes establish the whimsical, dreamlike tone that runs throughout Alice’s journey in Wonderland.
