Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

First sentence: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book' thought Alice 'without picures or conversations?'

Plot: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. (Goodreads)

My thoughts: There is much more to the actual Adventure's of Alice in Wonderland than the one I remember as a child. Maybe it's because they had to make it so children would actually enjoy it.  The story in full seems to be way more advanced than most children would read.  It should be in the category of teen to young adult maybe.

Alice falls through a rabbit hole and finds herself in a strange land where she has many weird and unexpected experiences.  Eating and drinking could make her grow into a giant or shrink down to ant size.  A floating, grinning chestshire cat, a mad hatter, a white rabbit, a queen constantly screaming "off with her head", and playing cards a the queens servants.  Yep, kind of a weird tale and I agree with it being literary nonsense...
