Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 English children's novel by Lewis Carroll, a mathematics don at Oxford University. It details the story of a young girl named Alice who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures. It is seen as an example of the literary nonsense genre. The artist John Tenniel provided 42 wood-engraved illustrations for the book.

Leonard Weisgard's interest in the quality of children's books began as a schoolboy. He found the illustration monotonous and thought the world could not be all that dreary and limited to only one color.Nilsen, Don L. F. (1988). "The Linguistic Humor of Lewis Carroll".

The 1992 musical theatre production Alice used both books as its inspiration. It also employs scenes with Carroll, a young Alice Liddell, and an adult Alice Liddell, to frame the story. Paul Schmidt wrote the play, with Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan writing the music. [120] [121] Although the original production in Hamburg, Germany, received only a small audience, Tom Waits released the songs as the album Alice in 2002. Almost as good is Gavin Millar's Dreamchild (1985), scripted by Dennis Potter, in which the elderly Alice Liddell (played by Coral Browne) recalls her life and the genesis of Alice during a 1932 visit to New York. A number of other films draw or comment on Alice with various degrees of obliquity – the Wachowskis's Matrix trilogy, Jacques Rivette's Céline and Julie Go Boating, Woody Allen's Alice and Neil Jordan's Ondine (reviewed below), in which a bright child meets a woman from another world with the comment, "curiouser and curiouser".Alice in Wonderland 150th anniversary: 8 very different film versions".
