Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll – read by Kara Shallenberg
Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (first published in 1865) is one of the most enchanting and influential works in English literature. This whimsical tale follows young Alice, who, driven by curiosity, tumbles down a rabbit hole and finds herself in a fantastical realm where the ordinary rules of reality no longer apply. She encounters a host of unforgettable characters, including the hurried White Rabbit, the enigmatic Cheshire Cat, the eccentric Mad Hatter, and the fearsome Queen of Hearts.
Blending playful humor, sharp wit, and dreamlike logic, the story captures the imagination of both children and adults. It is celebrated as a classic example of “literary nonsense” and has left a lasting mark on fantasy writing, popular culture, and the way we think about stories themselves.
