Alice in Wonderland (1865), classic Victorian fairy tale by Lewis Carroll (Latinized pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832–98). First published as Alice's Adventures Under Ground (1863), it was inspired by a boating party with Alice Liddell and her sisters, daughters of an Oxford don. The fictional Alice is a 7‐year‐old who falls down a rabbit hole, changes from microscopic to telescopic proportions, and encounters a hookah‐smoking Caterpillar, Mock Turtle, and Cheshire Cat. This early version was expanded to include the Mad Tea Party, the Pig and Pepper episode with the Ugly Duchess, Alice's trial by the Queen of Hearts, and parodies such as ‘Speak Roughly to Your Little Boy’ and ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat’. The revised text also included illustrations by John Tenniel, the political cartoonist for Punch who also worked on the sequel. Through the Looking‐Glass and What Alice Found There (1871) has Alice participating in a Rabelaisian living chess game with Red and White Queens and a White Knight. On her way to becoming a Queen, she meets talking flowers, a battling Lion and Unicorn, Humpty Dumpty, and the twins Tweedledum and Tweedledee, who recite ‘You Are Old, Father William’ and ‘The Walrus and the Carpenter’. ‘Jabberwocky’, perhaps the most celebrated English nonsense poem, and ‘Upon the Lonely Moor’, a parody of Wordsworth, are also included.
