<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>One day, a young girl named Alice suddenly spots a frantic White Rabbit, wearing a waistcoat and carrying a pocket watch. She follows the hurried creature down a hole into the magical world of Wonderland. While there, Alice meets more crazy creatures, including the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar, and the Cheshire Cat, and plays a twisted game of croquet with the Queen of Hearts. But when the Queen turns against her, this dream-like world quickly becomes a nightmare.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This Campfire Classics adaptation faithfully renders Lewis Carroll's original language and plot details in a stunning graphic novel format. <p/>Alice was just an ordinary girl - imaginative and curious and thirsting for adventure. She was an ordinary girl, that is, until she found herself instantly transported to a place that was anything but ordinary. <p/>After diving down a rabbit hole, young Alice encounters a magical world ruled by a vicious Queen. It is a world where anything can happen; a world filled with a talking caterpillar, a puppy as big as a house, and a Cheshire cat that can disappear and reappear in the blink of an eye. Are these colorful characters real? And if so, how will Alice ever find her way back home? <p/>Beloved for more than a century, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is widely viewed as Lewis Carroll's masterpiece; a fantastic journey that will never be forgotten.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I <b><i>highly recommend</i></b> Campfire's comics. They do what they are intended to do and do it in a way that excites kids about classic literature. <p/>-- Chris Wilson, The Graphic Classroom (a resource for teachers and librarians)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was born on 27th January 1832 in the county of Cheshire, England and was the third of eleven children. Carroll went to study at Oxford University's Christ Church. <p/>Henry Liddell arrived at Christ Church with his wife and children to serve as the new dean. Carroll became a close friend to the family, and would entertain Liddell's children with his fantastic stories. At the insistence of Alice, one of Liddell's daughters, Carroll wrote <i>Alice's Adventures Underground</i> in 1864. This collection of stories served as the basis for <i>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</i>, which was published one year later. <p/>When <i>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</i> became an overwhelming success, Carroll published a sequel, known as <i>Through the Looking Glass, </i> in 1872. As he continued with his writing and teaching careers, Carroll also pursued a number of other passions including art and photography. He is also credited with inventing a word game known as Doublets. <p/>Lewis Carroll passed away on 14th January 1898 at the age of 65.
