My Review of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in the Wonderland, published in 1865.

It took me 1 hour and 05 minutes to read this novel on 19th August, 2020. It tells the story of a young girl named Alice and her wandering and wondering in the animal world which she falls into through a rabbit hole. Her wondering starts when she sees a white rabbit with waistcoat-pocket and a watch. She becomes very curious and follows the rabbit into it hole. 

When she gets to the rabbit hole, she starts wandering around the different architectures she finds which have striking resemblance to what she can easily relate to. Just in the beginning of novel, she finds cupboards and book-shelves, in the end of the novel, she finds herself in a court as an accused person. 

Her experiences, particularly the different potions she drinks that change her physique frequently are well illustrated in the novel. The changes she undergoes when she drinks these potions which often have clear label on them make her wonder excessively. 

Alice's curiosity and courage to acclimatise herself to the new subterranean environment gives the story different twists which will rivet the attention of the readers to the very end of the novel, particularly to go to the whole hog and find out what becomes of her in the long run. 

A striking feature of the novel is the anthropomorphic features the author gives to the animals Alice interacts with in the course of her sojourn. This feature evidently makes it an endearing read. Bearing this in mind, it is meet to classify it as a fantasy novel. Since its publication, it has "become the most popular children’s book in England, and within two more decades it was among the most popular storybooks in the world. It inspired numerous films, theatrical performances, and ballets as well as countless works of scholarly analysis."Britannica.com
