He was born in 1832 in a small village in the north- west of England. Charles studied Mathematics at Christ Church College, Oxford. After his degree* he became a teacher of Mathematics at Christ Church but he didn’t enjoy this job very much, In his free time he wrote poems and short stories. Many of them appeared in magazines. In 1856 he published his first piece of work, @ poem, under the name Lewis Carroll. His best-known® work, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, was published in 1865. It was a great success and Carroll became rich and famous but he continued to teach. In 1871 he published another ‘Alice’ book called Alice Through The Looking Glass. He finally stopped teaching in 1881 to concentrate on writing. He was a good photographer and he took many photographs of ice Liddell, one of the daughters of the Dean® of Christ Church. She was the model for the Alice in his stories. Carroll never moved away from Christ Church College and he never married. In 1867 he went to Russia but this was the only time he travelled abroad*. He died in January 1898 and he is buried® in Guildford, where his sisters had a house.

Alice and her older sister are sitting on the grass in a field on a warm day in July. Alice is bored. She falls asleep and dreams that she goes to a magical place called Wonderland. Her adventures begin when she follows a white rabbit down a rabbit hole. At the bottom of the hole, she finds a ‘small door into a beautiful garden. She can't go through the door because she's too big. Many strange things happen to her before she manages to enter the garden. She drinks and eats things that make her grow bigger and smaller. She swims in a pool of her own tears*. She meets a cat with a big smile. She has tea with a hatter®, a hare and a dormouse. In the garden, she meets characters which are from a pack of playing cards and the Queen of Hearts invites her to play croquet®. Finally she goes to the trial® of the Knave of Hearts®, who is accused? of stealing some jam tarts®. The trial is very silly and Alice begins to get angry. Then she wakes up. The beautiful illustrations in the first copies of the book were done by Sir John Tenniel (1820-1914) and they are as famous as the stories themselves. They inspired the makers of the 1951 Disney version of Alice in Wonderland. «accused: they think he did something * Knave of Hearts: in a set of playing wrong cards, the picture card less important © croquet: see page 53, than the Queen and the King ® hatter: person who makes hats «= tears: water from the eyes * jam tarts: small cakes with jam * trial: a legal process in a court of law to judge criminals (see page 60) iBefore Reading Before Reading 2 Look at the names and pictures of some of the animals and birds in the story and do the crossword. 64 1 Listen to the descriptions of six characters in the story.

Alice’s sister was reading but Alice was bored®. There was nothing for her to do. She looked around and yawned®. She was hot and she was beginning to feel sleepy. She yawned again. Why did Alice feel bored? Why did she feel sleepy? What do you usually do when you feel bored and sleepy? What do you think happens next? Suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran past her. ‘Oh dear! Oh dear! I'm late! Very late!’ he was muttering® to himself. He stopped and took a big watch out of his waistcoat pocket. He looked at it and said, ‘Oh dear! Oh dear! again, and continued running. ‘How very curious®!" Alice thought. ‘A rabbit in a waistcoat with a pocket watch! | wonder* where he's going.” She got up and ran after him. He went across the grass to the corner of the field and disappeared down a rabbit hole.

She could see a long dark passage® in front of her and the fe Rabbit was at the end of it. She ran after him quickly he disappeared round a corner. When she got there, she found na big empty room. The White Rabbit wasn’t there, She looked around her. There were a lot of doors, She tried to open but they were all locked. ‘How am | going to get out of this room and she started to feel a bit® worried® she asked herself * passage: corridor misssomeone/ * picked one up: ¢Then she saw a small glass table, There was a little golden key on it. She picked it up and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn’t open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains. ‘Oh, how beautifull’ she said. ‘I'd love to go there but I’m too big to get through the door." She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now, ‘I'm sure that bottle wasn’t there before,’ she said, a little confused. She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words “DRINK ME” on it. Alice wasn't a stupid girl. She didn't drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn’t a label on it that said “POISON”*. So she put the bottle to her lips* and drank. “Mmmm, it's nice,’ she said. It tasted* like cherry tart, pineapple, foast turkey and toast — all the things that she liked to eat — so she drank some more. And some more. Soon the bottle was empty. I |magine you are Alice.

She was now as small as her cat Dinah. “Good! | can go through the door into garden,’ she said, But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn't have the key! It was on the table. She couldn't reach? it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried. After a while she said, ‘Alice!’ (She often talked to herself.) ‘Stop crying! Crying doesn't help! Dry your tears* immediatel When she looked at the table again, she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words “EAT ME" on it.

She sat down and started to cry again. She cried and ied and cried. Her tears fell on the ground and soon there was, pool of water around her. PITTER, PATTER, PITTER, PATTER. She looked up. The White Rabbit was running towards her. He had a fan® in one hand and a pair of white gloves in the other. As he ran he muttered, ‘Oh, the Duchess! The Duchess. She's going to be very angry.’ ice whispered® ‘Sir — please ," but her voice frightened the Rabbit. He dropped® the fan and the gloves and ran away quickly down a dark passage. Alice put the key on the table, picked up the gloves and the fan and started to fan herself “How strange everything is today,’ she said sadly. ‘Yesterday things were normal.

She was getting smaller all the time. ‘It must be the fan!’ she thought, and she dropped it just before she disappeared completely. ‘Good! | can go to the garden now,’ she said. But when she got to the door, it was locked. And the key was on the table! And she was too small to reach the top of it! ‘Oh dear! she sighed®. ‘What am | going to do now?" Suddenly - SPLASH! She was up to her chin® in salty® water. At first she thought it was the sea. But it wasn't. She was in a pool of her own tears. ‘Why did | cry so much?’ she said. ‘Now I’m going to drown in my own tears.’ Then she heard a splashing noise not far away from her so she swam closer® to have a look.

Can you tell me the way out® of this pool, please?’ But the mouse didn’t reply®. ‘Perhaps it's a French mouse,’ Alice thought, and she spoke to it again. ‘OU est ma chatte?”* (This was the first sentence in her French book at school.) When the mouse heard this, he jumped and his body started to shake*. ‘Oh, I'm sorry!” Alice said you?” ‘No, | don’t,’ the mouse replied ‘But my cat Dinah is a nice cat,’ Alice continued, ‘She's very soft and she's very good at catching mice - oh!

"There's a little dog near our house. It belongs to a farmer and it's very clever. The farmer says it's a very useful dog because it is all the rats® and — oh no! You're angry now.’ he mouse was swimming away noisily. Alice called softly®, ‘Mouse! Dear, mouse! Please come back! promise not to talk about cats or dogs.” The mouse swam back and said, ‘Do you want to know why | don't like cats or dogs? Would you like to hear my story?’ “Yes, please,’ Alice said. ‘But let's get out of the water. They swam to the side of the pool and got out. There were a Jot of animals and birds in the water now, including a parrot, a aby eagle, a duck and a dodo.

It was a strange race. They didn't start together and they stopped when they liked. But after half an hour they were all dry again. Then the mouse began its story. It was a long one about a dog called Fury and a mouse. Alice couldn't understand it. ‘You aren't listening!’ the mouse said to her angrily, a walked away. m sorry. Please come back and finish your story!’ Al called but the mouse just walked faster. Soon all the other animals and birds left, too. Alice felt sad and lonely and she started to cry again. Then she heard PITTER, PATTER, PITTER, PATTER. The sound of smal distance. ‘Perhaps the mouse is coming back,’ she thought. feet in the ALICE GOES TO THE WHITE RABBIT'S HOUSE Jt wasn't the mouse. It was the White Rabbit. He was muttering To himself as usual “Oh! Where can they be? Where did | lose them?" ‘Alice guessed that he was looking for his gloves and his fan. She was a kind little girl and she wanted to help the Rabbit so She started looking for them, too. Everything around her was jerent now. There was no water. There was no room or glass ible. There was no little door. Very soon the Rabbit saw her and shouted® angrily in a high ice, ‘Mary Ann! What are you doing here? Run home immediately Wid bring me a pair of gloves and a fan!

The next thing she heard was a little scream® and a CRASH! of broken glass. ‘That's the greenhouse,’ Alice thought. Next she heard the Rabbit say, 'Pat!
