One lazy, hot afternoon, Alice grows bored sitting by the riverbank and follows
a mysterious white rabbit. Following it down a rabbit hole, Alice tumbles into a
magical nonsense world where meeting a Mad Hatter and a disappearing Cheshire
Cat are just part of the adventure. In a strange land of talking doorknobs and
magical potions, Alice wonders if she will ever find her way home.
The second of Alice's adventures sees her walking through a mirror to a strange
world on the other side. Upon her arrival, she is met by talking chess pieces and
bumps into nursery rhyme characters Tweedledum and Tweedledee. After being
taken on a whirlwind journey through time and space, Alice wakes from a dream
where she has become Queen of the chessboard. Only then does she think that
perhaps it was all imagined...

He wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1872) for the daughters of the Dean of Christ Church.
