Alice in Wonderland
Chapter One
Down the Rabbit Hole

"Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had a peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"

"So she was considering, in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

"There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!" (when she thought it over afterwards it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but, when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet..."

Through the Looking Glass
Chapter One
Looking-Glass House

"Oh, Kitty! how nice it would be if we could only get through into Looking-glass House! I'm sure it's got, oh! such beautiful things in it! Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it, somehow, Kitty. Let's pretend the glass has got all soft like gauze, so that we can get through. Wy, it's turning into a sort of mist now, I declare! It'll be easy enough to get through - " She was up on the chimney-piece while she said this, though she hardly knew how she had got there. And certainly the glass was beginning to melt away, just like a bright silvery mist."

Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898) was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a British author, mathematician, and photographer. He was born in Daresbury, Cheshire, and was the eldest boy in a large family of 11 children. He showed a talent for inventing games and stories to amuse his siblings and himself. He studied mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, where he later became a lecturer. He is best known for his two classic children's books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871), which were inspired by his friendship with Alice Liddell, the daughter of the dean of Christ Church. He also wrote poems, such as The Hunting of the Snark (1876), and puzzles.
