Review Summary
Alice's first trip to Wonderland is the story of her being lost and encountering fantastic creatures in her chase for the white rabbit. She had followed the white rabbit into Wonderland, through his rabbit-hole, and ends up growing and shrinking through the curiosities she finds. There are tea parties and poems to be recited, all of which are different from her usual life and she finds herself misbehaving when acts as her etiquette prescribes.
Jessica Marler, Resident Scholar
