Alice in Wonderland (also known as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland), from 1865, is the peculiar and imaginative tale of a girl who falls down a rabbit-hole into a bizarre world of eccentric and unusual creatures. Lewis Carroll's prominent example of the genre of "literary nonsense" has endured in popularity with its clever way of playing with logic and a narrative structure that has influence generations of fiction writing.

Lewis Carroll Born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. (1832 – 1898) A famous English writer, mathematician, logician, and photographer. Carroll’s most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, which includes the poem "Jabberwocky", and the poem The Hunting of the Snark, all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, first published in 1865, tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.

The title character and protagonist of Alice's Adventures Under Ground is a young girl who, on a hot summer afternoon, follows a talking white rabbit down its hole. She finds herself in a strange subterranean world where she encounters more talking animals, imaginary creatures and a deck of living playing cards. She also grows and shrinks several times, usually as a result of eating or drinking something unusual.
