Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is een roman geschreven door de Engelse wiskundige Charles Lutwidge Dodgson onder het pseudoniem Lewis Carroll. Het verhaal volgt een meisje genaamd Alice die door een konijnenhol valt in een fantasiewereld bevolkt door vreemde, antropomorfe wezens. Alice komt verschillende bizarre personages tegen, zoals de Hoedenmaker, de Cheshire Cat en de Koningin van Harten, terwijl ze haar weg probeert te vinden in deze vreemde en vaak verwarrende omgeving. Het verhaal verkent thema's van identiteit, groei en de absurditeit van de volwassen wereld. Alice's avonturen zijn zowel een speelse als diepgaande reflectie op de kindertijd en de uitdagingen van het opgroeien. De roman is beroemd om zijn fantasierijke taal en surrealistische elementen, en heeft een blijvende impact gehad op de literatuur en populaire cultuur. Het blijft een geliefd verhaal dat lezers van alle leeftijden blijft fascineren met zijn wonderlijke en vaak onvoorspelbare plot.
