Description Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is the world’s first surrealist book – even before the term was invented! The author of this dream-like fantasy, full of puns and ironic comments on adult life, was Lewis Carroll, who devised the story for three young girls during a boat trip on the river Isis in Oxford. Since its publication, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has been a firm favourite with children of all ages, and adults too can find deeper layers of meaning beneath the madcap escapades of Alice and her outlandish army of comic characters.
