Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865)

Follow a curious young girl down the rabbit hole in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the beloved 1865 fantasy novel by Lewis Carroll. What begins as a simple daydream becomes a wildly imaginative journey through a world where logic bends, animals talk, and absurd rules govern everything from tea parties to croquet matches with flamingos. In this episode, we explore how Lewis Carroll blended playful nonsense, clever wordplay, and subtle satire to create one of the most inventive children's stories ever written—one that has fascinated readers of all ages and influenced literature, art, and popular culture for more than a century.
