Alices Adventures in Wonderland

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Dreams are like telescopes; extensions of the eyes stretching sight to the darkest outlying regions of the sub-conscience. November 9, 1865 Alice began her excursion as she drifted off down the rabbit hole and returned six years later through the looking-glass.

Young Alice tells her tale vicariously through Author Lewis Carroll and illustrator/political cartoonist John Tinnel. The story is beautifully poetic and imagination inspiring while simultaneously flipping the mind causing you to float in and out of a whimsical and dreamlike state. Anyone in the right mind should follow Alice as she follows the rabbit down the hole and brave the scores of perils that await in this elusive wonderland.

The story begins with Alice sitting by the stream with her sister and cat Dinah. Her sister is reading the boring sort of books with no pictures that Alice doesn't like. Suddenly Alice notices a white rabbit and begins to follow him. He wasn't your average everyday rabbit. He wore a waist coat and carried a pocket watch all the while he continuously looked at his pocket watch and claiming to be late to meet with the duchess. Alice proceeds down the whole after the rabbit and things begin to turn stranger and stranger as she floats to the bottom. She finds herself in a series of peculiar rooms and gardens and such. In the room she lands in the fins a cookie and a bottle of orange marmalade labeled Drink Me. Being as curios as she is Alice drinks the orange marmalade. After consumption she progressed to "shut up" like a telescope which wasn't a normal part of her daily routine. To counteract this process she eats the cookie and switches gears into reverse. Alice wants to go into the garden outside but she cant find a way because the door is much too small. Later on, Alice finds her way outside but not into the garden. In her travels she meet a great mess of characters like the door mouse, a dog, a lizard, a dodo, and the duchess. She also finds herself running into other memorable characters such as the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and Hare(they are both mad), Humpty Dumpty, And eventually The Red Queen. Too much has been said now, and no true admirer can spoil a book and deny another of the magic that lies within. Read it.

Alice is a seven and a half year old girl, but what does "a half" year matter any way. Alice is 7. She is a very charming and imaginative little girl who has thought of more impossible things than most people could even imagine. She has been to worlds unseen by any human eyes other than her own and those who live or have been there. She loves picture books and soft things and all of the good stuff but she has seen things that humans can only dream about. There are many more characters than Alice, but these characters should be met as you travel along side her.
