Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Book

Alice's goal in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is to navigate the strange and nonsensical world she finds herself in, trying to make sense of the bizarre events and characters she encounters while seeking a way back home. She also seeks to assert her identity and independence, often challenging the absurd rules of Wonderland.

Alice saved the gardeners from being beheaded by removing the playing cards that formed their heads and arguing with the Queen of Hearts that they should be put on trial instead of executed.

Some literary elements in Alice in Wonderland include satire, absurdity, symbolism, and fantasy. The book uses these elements to create a whimsical and imaginative world that serves as a commentary on society and human behavior.

The March Hare is male. In the original book, Carroll refers to him as 'he';

Mimzy doesn't appear in Alice in Wonderland, so it doesn't say anything.

Mimzy is a character in the film The Last Mimzy, which is based on the science fiction story Mimsy Were the Borogoves, written by Lewis Padgett in 1947.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published on July 4th, 1865.

After she has picked up the Rabbit's white gloves and fan, Alice fans herself and wonders aloud whether she still is Alice or if she has been substituted for someone else. She then realises that she must have shrunk while she was thinking as she has put on one of the Rabbit's gloves. She surmises that the fan must be the cause, so she quickly throws it away. She then slips and falls into the pool of tears which she wept when she was larger.

The book "Simply Alice" is about life after the break-up with Patrick. Alice busies herself with the school newspaper and drama play. Pamela and Elizabeth basically give her the cold shoulder and Alice doesn't know what's wrong. At the same time she has a secret admirer...

Lewis Carroll was born as Charles Dodgson on January 27, 1832 at Daresbury, Cheshire, where his father Charles was vicar. Charles attended Richmond Grammar School (Yorkshire) after his family moved to Croft. He wrote a series of family magazines throughout his childhood, containing poetry, drawing, and prose. In 1846 Dodgson attended Rugby School, from which he graduated to Christ Church College, Oxford. In 1854 he was awarded a degree in mathematics, and the following year he began work as a Lecturer at Christ Church in that subject. During that time he continued to write comic verse, some of which was published in the Comic Times. In 1856 Dodgson submitted a parody to the magazine The Train. The editor of The Train, Edmund Yates, chose the pseudonym "Lewis Carroll" from a list of possible pen names submitted by Dodgson. In that same year Carroll first met Alice Pleasance Liddell, daughter of the Dean. Dodgson was an enthusiastic photographer, at a time when the art was young. He took photographs of Alfred Tennyson, and had four of his prints exhibited at the annual exhibition of the Photographic Society in London. He continued to write, and published several short stories and novels, in addition to works on mathematics, such as A Syllabus of Plane Algebraic Geometry. On July 4, 1862 (a momentous date in English literature!) Dodgson took a boat trip with Alice Liddell and several others to Godstow. On this trip Dodgson passed the time by telling the children a nonsense tale. He later wrote down the story, calling it Alice's Adventures Underground. When he finished the book in 1863 his friends and family urged him to publish it. The book was renamed Alice in Wonderland and published in July 1865. It was immediately withdrawn from circulation due to poor print quality. A second, corrected, edition was published in November, at roughly the same time as Dodgson's mathematical treatise The Dynamics of a Particle. In 1867 Dodgson began a new children's series, Sylvie and Bruno, beginning with Bruno's Revenge, in Aunt Judy's Magazine. In that same year he began a sequel to "Alice" entitled Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. When Dodgson's father died in 1868, he purchased "The Chestnuts", at Guildford, Surrey, where his family moved. He himself moved into quarters at Tom Quad, where he remained for the rest of his life. There he continued his experiments with photography, and went so far as to have a special photographic studio built on the roof of Tom Quad. Dodgson was a prolific writer, contributing political pamphlets, mathematical works, and children's tales to a variety of magazines. In 1881 he gave up his mathematics Lectureship to devote himself full time to his writing. The year 1889 saw the final episode of Sylvie and Bruno. "Lewis Carroll" had mixed feelings about his lasting fame as an author of children's stories. He preferred to think of himself as a man of science and mathematics who also happened to write nonsense. Charles Dodgson died of bronchitis on January 14, 1898. He is buried in Mount Cemetery, Guildford, Surrey, near the home he bought for his family Alice Liddel was the daughter of a friend whose father was dean of Westminster School London England

The first, handwritten version that Lewis Carroll made for Alice Liddell was called 'Alice's Adventures Under Ground'.

After he had lengthened it and Tenniel had illustrated it, it was published as 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.

In the book it is the Queen of Hearts who says, "off with her head."

In the 1951 Disney animation it is also the Queen of Hearts.

In Tim Burton's 2010 movie it is Iracebeth, the Red Queen who says it.

The Dodo represents Lewis Carroll. Because of his stammer, he would pronounce his real name do-do-dodgson.

The Dodo, the Duck, the Lory and the Eaglet all represent the original group who went on the rowing trip where Carroll first told the Alice story.

The Duck is Robinson Duckworth, a friend of Carroll's, and the Lory and the Eaglet represent Lorina and Edith, Alice's sisters.

'The other curious creatures' were probably Carroll's sisters, Fanny and Elizabeth, and his Aunt Lucy Lutwidge.

A few weeks before the famous rowing trip, these seven people, plus Alice Liddell of course, had been on another outing during which it rained very heavily and everybody got soaked. They were forced to dry off at a friend's house.

This episode was referred to in the original Alice story, but was edited out of the final published book, as it was thought the incident would not be interesting to anyone who wasn't there.

Years later Carroll sent Duckworth a copy of his book with an inscription, 'To the Duck from the Dodo'.
