Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most famous and enduring children’s classics.
The book begins with young Alice catches sight of a small white figure，a rabbit dressed in a waistcoat and holding a pocket watch，murmuring(喃喃细语) to himself that he is late.She runs after the rabbit and follows it into a hole.After falling into the depths of the earth，she finds herself in a corridor full of doors.At the end of the corridor，there is a tiny door with tiny key through which Alice can see a beautiful garden that she is desperate to enter.She then sees a bottle labeled “Drink me”，which she does，and begins to shrink until she is small enough to fit through the door.
Unfortunately，she has left the key that fits the lock on a table，now well out of her reach.She then finds a cake labeled “Eat me”，which again she does，and is restored to her normal size.Disconcerted by this frustrating series of events，Alice begins to cry，and as she does，she shrinks and is washed away in her own tears.
This strange beginning leads to a series of progressively “curiouser and curiouser” events，which see Alice babysit a pig，take part in a tea party，and take part in a game of croquet(槌球)．She meets some incredible characters.She also，famously，meets the Queen of Hearts who has a special liking for execution(处决)．
The book reaches its climax(高潮) in the trial of the Knave of Hearts，who is charged with stealing the Queen’s pies.A good deal of nonsense evidence is given against the unfortunate man，and a letter is produced which only refers to events by pronouns.Alice，who by now has grown to a great size，support the Knave but the Queen demands her execution.As she is fighting off the Queen’s soldiers，Alice awakes，realizing she has been dreaming all along.
