It reads more like a college paper, but I hope you enjoy learning more about understanding Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. This is not your average post or book review. Readers loved it when Grace shared her thoughts about what happens when you discover that you don’t love Jane Austen, so I asked her to share some of what she wrote on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I knew a little bit about Lewis Carroll’s works, but after Grace shared some of what she learned, I realized that I really didn’t know the story and meaning behind this famous work at all. Grace had to do some research and writing about Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland for one of her college classes.
