"Sylvie and Bruno" by Lewis Carroll is an inventive story from the late 1800s where two young children, Sylvie and Bruno, explore a fascinating place with peculiar people, funny political events, and exciting escapades. Combining make-believe with observations about society, the book looks at being pure, showing affection, and the tricky parts of being an adult. The story starts with a noisy group of people yelling about "less bread" alongside "more taxes," which leads to strange political happenings. We see characters like a confused Warden and Lord Chancellor, and the playful kids, especially Bruno searching for Sylvie. Quickly going from the crazy politics to the sweet bond between the Warden, Sylvie, and Bruno shows how they want to connect and understand each other in a silly world of adults. This beginning sets up the contrast between how kids see things innocently and how grown-up society can be absurd, shaping the story's journey through dreamlike fantasy and real life.
