"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll is a timeless children's story that begins with a young girl named Alice, bored by the riverbank, spots an anxious White Rabbit and chases it down a rabbit hole, leading her to a land of strange beings and odd experiences. At the start, Alice daydreams then spies the White Rabbit that sparks her curiosity. She follows the Rabbit and falls down a long hole, discovering a hall with many locked doors. After eating and drinking different things that make her change size, she starts to wander around this odd place, annoyed by the problems that her size and the weird people cause. This part of the story shows the playful and sometimes silly tone of Alice's adventures that continue throughout the book.
