Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a book that was written in 1865 by Lewis Carroll. This story has been made into several movies and television shows. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy realm populated by talking creatures and playing cards.
Although Lewis Carroll invented this novel for children, many scholars have discovered various underlying influences in his work. This book has been a favorite subject for analysis, as the story lends itself to various interpretations.
I’m very much afraid I didn’t mean anything but nonsense. Still, you know, words mean more than we mean to express when we use them; so a whole book ought to mean a great deal more than the writer means. So, whatever good meanings are in the book, I’m glad to accept as the meaning of the book. (– Lewis Carroll)
