Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her
sister on the river bank, and of having nothing to do...when
suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran by her. Alice did
not think it so very strange to hear the Rabbit say to
itself, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" But when
the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat pocket
and then hurried on, she started to wonder! Running after
the strange fellow, she was just in time to see it pop down
a large rabbit-hole. Down jumped Alice after it (never
considering how in the world she was to get out again) and
she tumbled into a curious world inhabited by the Mad
Hatter, the Ugly Duchess, the Mock Turtle, the Cheshire Cat,
and more…
With his marvelous sense of the absurd,
Lewis Carroll’s whimsical, fantastical tale delighted
children and adults when it was first published in 1865 and
has since become a treasured classic of literature.
