Alice in Wonderland is 'so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible' Alice in Wonderland'
This book tells the story of Alice, a young, curious girl who follows a white rabbit down a rabbit hole and into Wonderland. She meets a Duchess with a pig for a baby, a Cook that throws spoons, a wise but mad Cheshire cat, the March Hare, Mad Hatter and a Dormouse. A Caterpillar shows her how to adjust her height by eating from the right and left sides of a mushroom.
With that knowledge, Alice is able to enter a beautiful garden to play croquet with the Queen of Hearts. However, The Queen and King of Hearts threaten people with decapitation and execution. This game of croquet is played with flamingos (mallets), balls (curled-up hedgehogs) and an army of bent-over cards (arches). As the living croquet game continually changes, the Queen has most of her guests arrested, but introduces Alice to a Gryphon and Mock Turtle. By the end, she is in for the surprise of her lifetime as she learns the truth. Did she escape them all?
