Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865)
Author: Lewis Carroll
Country: Great Britain
Introduction: Bored and drowsy, a little girl named Alice is reading a book on the riverbank with her older sister. Suddenly she notices a talking, clothed Rabbit with a pocket watch running past her. She runs after the rabbit and accidentally falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world featuring peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. She encounters a blue caterpillar smoking a hookah, a mushroom that can change height and a mad tea party, among other strange sights. She attends a trial in which the Knave of Hearts is accused of stealing the Queen's tarts. She is called as a witness, but the King and Queen of Hearts order her to leave because she is too tall. Alice argues with them and refuses to leave. Just as the Queen shouts her familiar catch phrase, “Off with her head!” she wakes up, realizing it was all just a dream.
