The book tells the story of Alice, a young girl who follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole. At the bottom, she finds herself in a room with a tiny door and a bottle labeled "drink me." She grows and shrinks depending on what she eats and drinks, and as a small version of herself, finds herself swimming in a pool of tears amongst other wacky experiences i.e. meeting a crazy or better expressed as a ‘Mad Hatter’.
Alice and her adventures are probably known the world around. Her story has been made into movies, television specials and stage plays. This imaginative tale is timeless. So is the book. The book describes the action and characters, yet still leaves so much room for the imagination to roam. If you've never read this children's book, do so. If you read it a long time ago, renew the friendships. You can't go wrong with this one. It's not just for children, I personally think is no matter what year it is or how old you are, Alice's adventures will never become dull. Lewis Carroll also wrote “Through the Looking Glass” and “What Alice Found There” six years after “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland”, and some of the characters from this book also appear in the Disney movie.
What I took from the story itself was the strong influences of children on the verge of adulthood sometimes find themselves too small for adult privileges while being forced to talk on the no-fun world of adult responsibilities.
