Synopsis

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Alice is bored. Sitting on the riverbank beside her sister, with nothing to read but a book without pictures or conversations, she is just beginning to wonder whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble — when a White Rabbit runs past her, looking at his watch and muttering that he will be late.

She follows him down the rabbit-hole, and nothing after that is ever the right size. She grows too large for the house of the White Rabbit and too small for her own feet. She swims in a pool of her own tears, argues with a caterpillar smoking a hookah on a mushroom, takes tea with a Hatter who has stopped at six o'clock forever, plays croquet with a Queen who shouts for executions, and finally stands as a witness in a trial about stolen tarts where the rules of evidence have been abandoned entirely.

Lewis Carroll's 1865 book began as a story told to three sisters on a boating trip up the Isis, and it still reads like one: nonsense that is somehow stricter than sense, and jokes that work on children and scholars at the same time. This unabridged recording presents the complete text, narrated by Alex Mercer.

About Lewis Carroll

English writer and mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was especially known for his children's books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Besides being classic children's entertainment, they are also distinguished for their satire and verbal wit.

The son of a vicar, Carroll was a precocious child who showed early interest in both writing and mathematics. He studied mathematics and was appointed to a lectureship at Christ Church, Oxford. Carroll continued studying and prepared for holy orders for almost thirty years. Although he took deacon's orders in 1861, Carroll was never ordained as a priest.

A shy retiring bachelor, Carroll was happiest in the company of children, and his favorite was Alice Liddell, daughter of the dean of Christ Church. On a boating trip up the river Isis, Carroll told Alice and her three older sisters a story of "Alice's Adventures Underground," weaving into it many of the places and things they'd seen on their outings together. Alice was enchanted by the story and begged him to write it down. By the following February, Carroll had written a first draft and decided to publish it as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Although he wrote a wide range of other books, including many on the subject of advanced mathematics, he is best remembered for his children's classics.
