PUBLISHER'S PREFACE
About the Book

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a ork of literary nonsense written by English author Charles Lut idge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, consid red a classic example ofthe genre and of English literature in general. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a abbit-hole into a fantastic realm populated by peculiar and an hropomorphic creatures. The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgson' friends (and enemies), and to the lessons that British scho !children were expected to memorize. The tale plays with log c in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with a ults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the mo characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense, a d its narrative course and structure has been enormously influ ntial, mainly in the fantasy genre (see Works influenced by AI ce in Wonderland). The book is commonly referred to by the abbre ated title Alice in Wonderland. This alternative title was pop larized by the numerous film and television adaptations of the tory produced overthe years."

DOWN THE RABBIT-HOLE
LICE was beginning to get very tired of sitting by h sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once :twice she had peeped into the book her sister w reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and wh is th e use of a boo k,, th ought AI ice 'with out pict ures conversation ?'
r r s t
So she Was considering in her own mind (as well as she coul for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stu pid), wheth the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth t trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
, r e a
There Was nothing sO VERY remarkable in that; nor did Ali e think it so VERYmuch out of the way to hear the Rabbit say a itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to ha e wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natura ); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF I 5 WAISTCOAT- POCKET,and looked at it, and then hurried 0 , Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that s e had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pock t, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she r n across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole underthe hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it, never on e considering how in the world she was to get out again.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like at nnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so sudde Iy that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping he self before she found herself falling down a very deep well. Either the well was very deep, or she ell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down t look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next First, she tried to look down and make out what she was co ing to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked t the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled wit cupboards and bookshelves; here and there she saw maps nd pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled 'ORANGE MARM LADE', but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so manag d to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it. 'Well!' thought Alice to herself, 'after s ch a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they'll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn't say anything about it, even if I fell off the top ofthe house!' (Which s very likely true.) Down, down, down. Would the fall NE ER come to an end! 'I wonder how many miles I've fallen by th s time?' she said aloud. 'I must be getting somewhere near the entre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand m les down, I think--' (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this as not a VERY good opportunity for showing oft her knowled e, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practi e to say it over) '--yes, that's about the right distance--but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?' (Alice had no dea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they w re nice grand words to say.)

Prese tly she began again. 'I wonder if I shall fall right THRO GH the earth! How funny it'll seem to come out among the eople that walk with their heads downward! The Antip thies, I think--' (she was rather glad there WAS no one listen ng, this time, as it didn't sound at all the right word) '--but I shal have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know please, Ma'am, is this New Zealand or Australia?' (and she tied to curtsey as she spoke--fancy CURTSEYING you're as fallin through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) hat an ignorant little girl she'll think me for asking! No, ver do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up some-
down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon talking again. 'Dlnah'll miss me very much to-night, I think!' (Dinah was the cat.) 'I hope they'll remember her s ucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, I'm afraid, but you ight catch a bat, and that's very like a mouse, you know. But d cats eat bats, I wonder?' And here Alice began to get rathe sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats at cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either quest on, it didn't much matter which way she put it. She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was alking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earne tly, 'Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?' when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came upon a heap f sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over. as not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a mom nt: she looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her w s another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hu rrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost:

away went Alice like the wind, and was just in ti e to hear it say, as it turned a corner, 'Oh my ears and whisk rs, how late it's getting!' She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a r w of lamps hanging from the roof. There were doors all round the hall, but they wer all locked; and when Alice had been all the way down one sid and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again. Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny gal Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too larg was too small, but at any rate it would not open However, on the second time round, she came curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little the lock, and to her great delight it fitted! all made of en key, and fthe doors ,or the key ny of them. pan a low was a little Iden key in
Alice opened the door and found that it led i to a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she kne t down and looked along the passage into the loveliest gard n you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, nd wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway; 'and even if my head would go through,' t ought poor Alice, 'it would be of very little use without my sh ulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I thin I could, if I only know how to begin.' For, you see, so many au -of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun 0 think that very few things indeed were really impossible.

There seemed to be no use in waiting by th little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she mig t find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shut ing people up like telescopes: this time she found a little b ttle on it, (,which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the ords 'DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters. It was all very well to say 'Drink me,' but the ise little Alice was not going to do THAT in a hurry. 'No, I'll I ok first,' she said, 'and see whether it's marked "poison" or no '; for she had read several nice little histories about children ho had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other un leasant things, all because they WOULD not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you c t your finger VERY deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; a d she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a batt e marked 'poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, soon r or later. However, this bottle was NOT marked 'poison,' so Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very nic , (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custar , pine-apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast.] she v ry soon finished it off.

'What a curious feeling!' said Alice; 'I must b shutting up like a telescope.'
