Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Alice tumbles down a rabbit hole into a world where logic politely excuses itself: a caterpillar smoking on a mushroom, a tea party with no end, a queen who sentences first and tries later. Lewis Carroll wrote it for one real child on one summer afternoon, and it has never stopped feeling like it was written for whoever happens to be reading it. Beneath the wordplay is a quietly serious book about growing, shrinking, and trying to stay yourself while everything around you changes size.
