Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (often shortened to Alice in Wonderland) was published in 1865. (the pseudonym of Charles Dodgson). It relates the story of Alice, a little girl who falls down a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world full with strange, anthropomorphic creatures. It is widely regarded as one of the great works in the literary nonsense genre. The story toys with logic, resulting in enduring popularity among adults and children alike.
The storyline, structure, characters, and images
of one of the best-known and most popular works of English-language
fiction have had immense influence in popular culture and literature,
especially in the fantasy genre. The text has been translated into at
least 97 languages and has never gone out of print. Many adaptations for
theatre, movie, radio, art, ballet, theme parks, board games, and video
games have been made. Carroll followed up with Through the
Looking-Glass in 1871, as well as a condensed version for young
children, The Nursery "Alice," in 1890.
