That is how an ordinary boy from a clergyman’s family, Charles Dodgson, turns into a famous children’s writer, Lewis Carroll, – because of his unwillingness to follow certain orders and a burning desire to be interesting for children. It is high time to fall asleep and enjoy a new world, full of surprises, puzzles, and meetings that can change an ordinary life forever. Lewis does not find it necessary to hide the truth and prove that, if reading “had no pictures or conversations in it” (Carroll 63), it can be interesting in some way.
His goal is to make the reader believe that this story differs from the others. He does not want to spend more time on some attractive and childish things.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is the example of how passionate the author can be about his ideas and positions. It is not a usual thing to start reading a book, where a number of social norms and rules are broken from the very first lines. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis introduces a collection of puzzles that fulfill a human life, make people move and think about the past, present, and future as a one whole, and turn the majority of challenges into a nonsensical story about the author’s disregard for morality, rules, and measurements that are usually crucial to children’s literature. Lewis’ Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most unexpected unpredictable and captivating stories, where the simplicity of ideas and nonsense are closely interlaced by a variety of puzzles that have to be collected by the main character, Alice. All this is about Lewis Carroll, one and only, who introduced an amazing world of Wonderland with its rules, their absence, and their unimportance.
