Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland drops curious young Alice down a rabbit hole and into an underground world that just gets "curiouser and curiouser." In Wonderland, Alice attempts to understand and impose logic on this illogical dream-world as she faces off against the White Rabbit, the Cheshire-Cat, the Blue Caterpillar, the Mad Hatter, and ultimately the Queen of Hearts. Though Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is sometimes referred to as nonsense literature, hidden in Carroll's wordplay are satirical jibes at the politics and propriety of Victorian England.
