Alice in Wonderland doesn't seem to be the second most read book, although it is difficult to get accurate statistics. There don't seem to be even estimated figures available for the number of copies sold.

Various sources suggest that The Thoughts of Chairman Mao, or The Little Red Book is the second most read book in the world, after The Bible. But Alice's Adventures in Wonderland consistently fails to appear on 'most read' lists at all, presumably because of the unavailability of statistics.

It is claimed that Alice in Wonderland is the second most quoted book in English the English language (after Shakepeare), but again, there are no statistics to support this claim.

What is Alice in Wonderland and how is it different in everyday life?

'Alice in Wonderland' is several things. Firstly, it is a shortened version of the name of a book by Lewis Carroll whose full title is 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. It tells the story of a little girl named Alice, who follows a white rabbit down a hole to an extraordinary place called Wonderland, where she meets some bizarre and remarkable people, and does some bizarre and remarkable things. 'Alice in Wonderland' is also a name given to Lewis Carroll's book AND its sequel, Through the Looking Glass - they frequently appear printed together in a single edition. The third best known usage of the term is in reference to the 1951 Disney animated adaptation of the books. 'Alice in Wonderland' is based predominantly on the first book, but also includes material from the second. Then, 'Alice in Wonderland' also is also the name of any of a number of other adaptations of Lewis Carroll's book, be they for stage, screen or television. Most recently, 'Alice in Wonderland' is a film by Tim Burton, which acts as a sequel to Carroll's books, and is set several years after Alice's first adventures in Wonderland. It is different to everyday life because in Wonderland, normal rules do not apply - either socially, or according to the laws of physics. Wonderland is a dream land, and like the land of dreams, extraordinary things happen. Animals can speak or vanish and appear at will. People turn into animals and inanimate objects turn into people. A person visiting Wonderland might shrink or grow, seemingly without reason, or lose their identity altogether. The people there are strange and rude and often seem to speak complete nonsense, and they recite huge amounts of poetry.
