A Journey Down the Rabbit-Hole

Written as a story Carroll—whose real name was Charles Dodgson—conjured up on a 'golden afternoon' in 1862 for his child-friend Alice Liddell, this tale sends its heroine tumbling into a magical world where the rules of logic are turned upside-down. In the back-to-front Wonderland and the Looking-Glass kingdom, chaos reigns:

• A baby transforms into a pig right before your eyes.
• Time is abandoned at a chaotic tea party.
• A nonsensical game of chess turns a 7-year-old into a Queen.
