Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English
author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who
falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. The tale is filled
with allusions to Dodgson's friends. The tale plays with logic in ways that have given the story lasting popularity
with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the "literary
nonsense" genre and its narrative course and structure have been enormously influential, especially in the
fantasy genre.
