Alice is sitting on a riverbank, bored, when a White Rabbit in a waistcoat runs past, checking his watch. She follows him down a rabbit-hole into a world where a drink can shrink you, a cat can vanish until only its grin is left, and a Queen settles every quarrel with 'Off with their heads!'. Lewis Carroll's 1865 book is full of riddles, wordplay and nonsense verse that still delight children and grown-ups alike.
