"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" was a story told by the British mathematician Carroll to the daughter of his friend, Alice, on a whim. After writing it, he added his own illustrations and gave it to her (this handwritten manuscript was recently published in Britain). Later, encouraged by his friends, Carroll revised, expanded, and polished the manuscript before officially publishing it in 1865. The story follows a little girl named Alice who, in a dream, chases a rabbit and falls down its hole, embarking on a long and thrilling journey. She only wakes up in a fit of rage after clashing with the Queen of Hearts and the King in a card game, shouting in frustration. This fairy tale, with its magical imagination, witty humor, and poetic charm, breaks the rigid formula of moral instruction in traditional Western children's literature. Since then, it has been translated into many languages and has traveled the world.
