Lewis Carroll: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (English Edition)

&apos;Would it be of any use, now,&apos; thought Alice, &apos;to speak to this mouse? Everything is so out-of-the-way down here, that I should think very likely it can talk: at any rate, there&apos;s no harm in trying.&apos; So she began: &apos;O Mouse, do you know the way out of this pool? I am very tired of swimming about here, O Mouse!&apos; (Alice thought this must be the right way of speaking to a mouse: she had never done such a thing before, but she remembered having seen in her brother&apos;s Latin Grammar, &apos;A mouse—of a mouse—to a mouse—a mouse—O mouse!&apos;) The Mouse looked at her rather inquisitively, and seemed to her to wink with one of its little eyes, but it said nothing. &apos;Perhaps it doesn&apos;t understand English,&apos; thought Alice; &apos;I daresay it&apos;s a French mouse, come over with William the Conqueror.&apos; <br/> &quot;Alice&apos;s Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll was first published in 1865. It tells of a girl falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. «Alice&apos;s Adventures in Wonderland» has been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
