He was born in Daresbury in Cheshire, England on 27th January 1832. He had* three younger brothers and seven sisters. When he was eleven, the family moved to a small, lonely village in Yorkshire. Charles enjoyed doing magic tricks, putting on puppet shows^ and writing poems and stories to entertain his brothers and sisters. Charles Dodgson went to famous Rugby School from 1846 to 1850. After that, he went to Oxford University’s Christ Church college to study Classics and Mathematics. In 1855 he became* a teacher of Mathematics at Christ Church, where he spent* most of the rest of his life. He never married, Charles was a very good photographer, and he loved to photograph children. One girl he often photographed was Alice Liddell, a daughter of the dean of Christ Church. He spent a lot of time with Alice and two of her sisters, Lorina and Edith. His most famous books, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Throush The Looking Glass (1871), began* as stories he told* the Liddell girls. The Alice books were very popular, and Charles Dodgson wrote* several other stories and various funny ‘nonsense’ poems. However, people remember him best for the strange and amazing stories about a little girl called Alice. Charles Dodgson died in Guildford in Surrey, England on 14th January 1898. see Irregular Verbs, p. 37 ' underlined words: see Glossary, p. 37 BACKGROUND All his life, Charles Dodgson loved entertaining children. At the age of 30, he spent a lot of time with the Liddell girls - Lorina, Edith and his favourite, Alice. He often photographed them, played ‘nonsense’ games with them, and told them long stories. On a sunny afternoon in July 1862, Charles Dodgson and a friend took* the Liddell girls rowing on the River Thames near Oxford. The children asked Dodgson to tell them a fairy tale, and 10-year-old Alice Liddell said* she hoped the story would have “nonsense” in it. So Dodgson told them an amazing tale, full of nonsense, about a little girl called Alice and her adventures in a magical underground world. Alice liked the story so much that she said, “I wish you would write out Alice’s adventures for me!” Dodgson wrote down the story, drew* pictures for it, put* a photograph of Alice Liddell on the last page and gave the ‘book’ to her. Later Dodgson made* some changes to the story and published the book as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865. The book was soon a success, and Dodgson wrote Through the Looking-Glass in 1871, based on more stories he told the Liddell girls. When Dodgson died in 1898, Alice was already the most popular children's book in England. Translated into dozens of languages, it became - and still is today - one of the most popular and most famous in the world. THE PLOT Alice and her older sister are sitting by the river on a hot afternoon when Alice sees a White Rabbit. He is very worried because he is late. Alice follows the White Rabbit into a rabbit hole. She falls and falls for a very long time. When she gets to the bottom, she is in a strange new world where very funny things happen. She meets talking animals and birds, and some very strange people. She eats magic cakes and drinks magic drinks. Some of these make her smaller, and some of them make her bigger. She has tea with a March Hare and a mad Hatter, and plays croquet with the King and Queen of Hearts. Life in Wonderland is magical, but very, very strange. How can Alice get home again?

She didn’t have anything to do. She sat* by the river, waiting for teatime. Her older sister was also there, reading a book. Alice looked at the book. It was very boring, because there weren’t any pictures in it. Just then, a white rabbit with pink eyes ran* past Alice, and she heard* it say, “Oh dear! I’m very late!’’ The rabbit took a watch out of its waistcoat pocket, looked at it and started to run even faster. “A rabbit with a waistcoat and a watch!” thought* Alice. “That’s very strange.” She stood* up and followed the rabbit. It ran across a field and went through a little door in a tree. Alice went through the door, too. There was a hole behind the door. It went straight down, like a deep well, and Alice fell* down and down. She fell very slowly, and for a very long time. “I must be near the centre of the earth,” she thought. Suddenly she landed on some sticks and dry leaves. Alice stood up and looked around. She saw* the white rabbit running down a tunnel, so she ran after it. “Oh my ears and whiskers! I’m so late!" said the rabbit. The rabbit ran around a corner. Alice followed, but when she turned the corner the rabbit wasn’t there. Alice was in a long, low room with doors all around it. She tried* to open the doors, but they were all locked. “What am I Qoina to do now?” she thought. “How am I going to get out of here?” I 2. 0i|lG 01ny Фоо/l 10 Alice looked around again and saw a glass table with a Щу gold key on it. The key was too small for any of the doors.Then Alice noticed a tiny door behind a curtain. She tried the key in the lock and the door opened. Outside the door was a beautiful garden. Alice wanted to go outside, but she was too big to go through the little door. She closed the little door and went back to the table. Now there was a bottle on it. A label on the bottle said “DRINK ME!” Alice looked carefully at the bottle, then she tried the drink. It was delicious! It tasted like all her favourite foods at the same time, so she drank* it all. “I feel very strange,” said Alice. She looked up and saw that the table was high above her, “I’m small!" she said. “Now 1 can go into the garden!" But the key to the little door was on the table. Alice could* see it, but she couldn’t reach it. “Oh no!” said Alice. Just then, she saw a little glass box on the floor. Inside, there was a tiny cake with the words “EAT ME!” on it. Alice ate* the cake. “Oh!" she said. “Now I’m growing!" Alice grew* until her head hit* the ceilinQ. She took the gold key and opened the tiny door. But now, of course, she was too tali to go through the door. She sat on the floor and cried*. 11 2. Qlie Фоо{ 0ea/ig 12 Alice cried and cried, and her tears made a deep pool around her. After a few minutes, she heard footsteps, and saw the white rabbit. He had a f^i and a pair of white gloves. He looked worried, and he did not see Alice. “Oh, the Duchess is going to be angry! I’m so late!” said the rabbit. “Excuse me said Alice. The rabbit turned round and saw Alice. He screamed, drooped the fan and the gloves, and ran away. Alice picked up the fan and the gloves, and said, “Oh dear! Everything is so strange today!” Suddenly, she saw that she was quite small again. “The fan is making me small!” she said and dropped it on the floor. “Now I can go through the door!” She ran to the door, but it was shut, and the key was on the table again. Alice tried to climb up the table, but she fell and landed in a pool of water. “What’s this?” said Alice. “Am I in the sea?” But it wasn’t the sea. “It’s the tears I cried when I was big!” said Alice. “Oh, why did 1 cry so much?” Just then, Alice saw that she was not alone in the pool. There was a mouse, a duck, a dodo, a young eagle, and many other strange creatures. Alice and the animals started to swim, and they soon got* to the shore of the pool of tears. 13 сЛ Stumge Фасе 14 Alice, the animals and the birds stood on the shore. They were very wet. “How are we going to get dry?” asked Alice. “The best way to get dry,” said the Dodo, “is to run a race." It made a circle on the ground and the animals all started to run around the circle. They ran for half an hour, and when they stopped, they were dry. “But who is the winner?” asked Alice. The Dodo thought for a long time, and then it said, “EVERYONE is the winner! EVERYONE must have a prize!” “But who is going to give the prizes?” asked the mouse. “SHE is!” said the Dodo, and he pointed to Alice. “Prizes! Prizes!” shouted the animals. Alice looked in her pockets and found* a box of sweets. There was one sweet each, so they sat down and ate them. Alice looked around at all the animals. “I miss my cat,” she said. “You’ve got a CAT?” said the mouse. “Oh yes,” said Alice. “Her name is Dinah. She’s very clever. She catches birds and mice, and -Oh! What did I say?” The animals were very upset. The mouse ran away, and some of the birds flew* into the air. “It’s time to go!” the others said. “Goodbye!” Alice was alone again. She felt* very sad. “Nobody here likes me,” she said, and started crying again. 15 л!' 16 Suddenly, Alice heard footsteps. She looked up and saw the rabbit again. He was very worried. “Oh dear! Where are they?" he said. “The Duchess is going to be very angry! Where did I drop them?" “He’s looking for his fan and gloves,” thought Alice. She looked for them, too, but they were back in the room with the glass table, and she didn’t know where that was any more. Just then, the rabbit saw Alice, “Mary Ann!’’ he shouted. “Why are you here? Go home right now and find me a pair of gloves and a fan!" “He thinks I’m his maid!" thought Alice, but she was too scared to say anything. She ran away and soon saw a little house, with the name “W. RABBIT" on the door. She went inside and ran upstairs. In the tiny bedroom, she saw a table with a fan and some white gloves on 1t. There was also a little bottle. Alice picked it up. “I’m tired of being so small,” she thought. “I wonder what this drink does." Alice drank the drink. “Oh! I’m growing again!" said Alice, as her head hit the ceiling. But this time, she grew even bigger. She sat on the floor, with one arm out of the window and one foot up the chimney. She was very unhappy. “How can 1 get out of here now?” she thought. Just then, Alice heard the rabbit. “Mary Ann!” he shouted. “Where are my gloves and fan?” The rabbit ran up the stairs and tried to open the bedroom door. “Hmm!” said the rabbit. “There’s something inside. Never mind. I can go through the window.” The rabbit ran outside again and looked up at the bedroom window. “Pat! Bill!” he shouted. “What is that in the bedroom window?” “It’s an arm, sir!” said another voice. “Well, take it out of my window!” shouted the rabbit. Pat the guinea pig tried to get through the window, but Alice moved her arm and he fell down again. Then Bill the lizard tried to get down the chimney, but Alice moved her leg and he flew out again. Next, Pat and Bill threw* stones at Alice through the window. When the stones landed on the floor, they changed into little cakes. Alice ate one of the cakes, and started to get smaller. “Wonderful!” she said. “I’m just the right size!” She put some cakes in her pocket and went downstairs. She ran out of the house, across the garden and into a wood. 17 J 18 She walked through the wood and soon she came to another little house. ‘*1 wonder who lives here,” Alice thought. Someone in a sort of uniform ran out of the wood and knocked at the door. He looked like a fish and had a big letter in his hand. A frog-man opened the door. He had another sort of uniform. The fish-man gave* the frog-man the huge letter. “This is for the Duchess,” he said. “It’s an invitation from the Queen to play croquet.” Then the fish-man walked away, and the frog-man sat on the front steps. Alice went up to the door and knocked. “Why are you knocking?” asked the frog-man. “I can’t let you in. because I’m outside. Anyway, no-one can hear you knocking.” He was right. There was a terrible noise coming from inside the house. Alice heard screams, sneezes, and loud crashes. “Well, how can I get in?" asked Alice. “Why don’t you open the door?” asked the frog-man. Alice opened the door and went into the house. She was in a large kitchen. In the middle of the kitchen was the Duchess, with a noisy baby. There was a cook near the fire with a huge pot of soup. The air was full of pepper. Alice sneezed. There was a large cat near the fire. It smiled at Alice. “Why is your cat smiling?” Alice asked the Duchess. The Duchess sneezed. “It's a Cheshire Cat,” she said. Then she shouted “Pig!” “Excuse me?” said Alice. “I’m talking to the baby,” said the Duchess. “Well, that's not a nice thing to say!” said Alice. “Mind your own business!” shouted the Duchess. “Cook! Cut off her head!” Alice was scared, but the cook didn’t listen to the Duchess. “Here! Take the baby!” said the Duchess, and she gave the baby to Alice. “ croquet with the Queen!” The Duchess went to get ready for croquet, and Alice took the baby outside. “That's not a good place for a baby to live,” she said. She looked at the baby. It looked like a little pig. It made a noise like a pig, too. “You ARE a pig!” said Alice to the baby. She put it on the ground and it walked away into the wood. “Where am I now?” thought Alice. must get ready for 19 20 Alice looked around and saw the Cheshire Cat in a tree, with a big smile on its face. “Excuse me,” she said, “can you tell me which way to go?” “Where do you want to get to?” asked the cat. “1 don’t know,” said Alice. “Where can 1 go?” “A Hatter lives over there,” said the cat. He pointed one way. “And a March Hare lives over there.” He pointed the other way. “You can visit either of them. They’re both mad.” “1 don’t want to visit mad people,” said Alice. “Well, I’m sorry,” said the cat, “but we’re all mad here! I’m mad. You’re mad. Goodbye!” The cat slowly disappeared, starting with its tail, until Alice could only see its smile. “I’m going to visit the March Hare,” Alice said, and she walked through the wood until she came to the March Hare’s house. When she saw the house, Alice knew* she was in the right place. There was fur on the roof, and the chimneys looked like long ears. There was a long table under a tree in the March Hare’s garden. The Hatter and the March Hare were at the table. There was a Dormouse between them. It was fast asleep. Alice sat in one of the chairs. “Hello!” said the March Hare. “Have some lemonade!” Alice looked at the table. There wasn’t any lemonade. There was only tea. “I can’t see any lemonade,” she said. “There isn’t any,” said the March Hare. “Then it was rude to offer it to me,” said Alice. “It was rude to sit down at my table,” said the March Hare. “I didn’t invite you,” “There are plenty of chairs,” said Alice. Nobody spoke* for a few minutes. Then the Hatter asked, “What day of the month is it?” “It’s the fourth,” said Alice. The Hatter looked at his watch. “Two days wrong,” he said to the March Hare. “I told you not to put butter in the watch.” “It was very good butter,” said the March Hare. Alice looked at the watch. “How funny 1” she said. “It tells the day of the month, but it doesn’t tell the time.” “Of course not!” said the Hatter. “Does your watch tell you what year it is?” “No,” said Alice, “because the year stays the same for a long time.” “Exactly!” said the Hatter. “Now, I want a clean cup! Let’s all move round the table!” They all moved to the next seat. Now Alice had a dirty cup in front of her. “I don’t think she said. “Then don’t talk!” said the Hatter. Alice was so angry that she walked away from the table. “What a stupid tea party!" she said. 21 22 Alice walked through the wood, away from the March Hare’s house. Suddenly, she saw a tree with a door in it. “How strange!’’ she said. “But then, everything is strange today.’’ She went through the door. She was in the long room with the glass table again. This time, she took the key and unlocked the tiny door first. Then she ate one of the cakes from the rabbit’s house. “Now I’m small enough to go into the garden at last!’’ she said, and she went through the door. There were a lot of people in the garden. First, Alice saw three gardeners. They looked like playing cards with black spades on them. Then ten soldiers walked across the grass. They had black clubs on them. Then the royal children ran across the garden. They were playing cards, too, and they had red hearts on them. The Knave of Hearts came* next, and then Alice saw the White Rabbit, and the King and Queen of Hearts. Alice stood still and waited. The King and Queen stopped in front of her. The gardeners quickly lay* down on their faces. “Who is this?” asked the Queen of Hearts. “What’s your name, child?’’ “My name is Alice, your Majesty,’’Alice said. “I mustn’t be afraid,’’ she thought. “They’re only a pack of cards.” “And who are these?” said the Queen of Hearts. She pointed to the gardeners. “I don’t know,” said Alice. “It’s not my business!” The Queen was so angry that her face turned red. “Cut off her head!” she shouted. Alice wasn’t scared. “Don't be so silly!” she said to the Queen. “You can’t cut my head off!” “Calm down, dear,” said the King to the Queen. “She’s only a child.” “Very well,” said the Queen. “Can you play croquet?” “Yes,” said Alice. “Come on, then!” shouted the Queen. “Take your places!” Alice looked around and saw that everyone was ready to play. It was a very strange game. The balls were hedgehogs, and the mallets were flamingoes. The soldiers stood on their hands and feet to make hoops. It was very difficult to play croquet with a flamingo. The pink birds didn’t want to stay still. People shouted at each other and ran around the garden. The Queen got very angry and shouted “Cut off his head!” or “Cut off her head!” every few minutes. Alice wanted to get away, but she didn’t know where to go. 23 24 Alice looked around and saw a big smile in the air. “Hello, Cheshire Cat,” she said, and the whole cat appeared on the garden wall. “How are you?” asked the cat. “Are you enjoying yourself?” “It’s not a very good game,” said Alice. “Everyone is fighting.” Alice looked around and saw the Queen behind her. “What is this?” asked the Queen. “It’s the Cheshire Cat,” said Alice. “I don’t want it here!” shouted the Queen. “It’s the Duchess’s cat. Ask her to take it away,” said Alice. One of the soldiers went to get the Duchess, but the cat started to disappear again. When the Duchess arrived, it was gone. “I’m so happy to see you again!” said the Duchess. She took Alice’s arm and they walked around the garden. The Duchess was very ugly, and she held* Alice very tight. Alice was glad when the Queen called her. “You must meet the Mock Turtle!” shouted the Queen. They walked to another part of the garden, where a Gryphon was asleep in the sun. “Get up, you lazy thing!” shouted the Queen. “Take Alice to see the Mock Turtle!” The Queen went back to the croquet game and the Gryphon sat up slowly. “Come on,” it said to Alice. They walked for a few minutes, and then Alice saw the Mock Turtle. He was on a rock and he looked very unhappy. “Why is he so sad?” asked Alice. “Oh, he’s not sad,” said the Gryphon. “He just thinks he’s sad,” They looked at the Mock Turtle. He looked back at them with tears in his eyes. “This is Alice,” said the Gryphon. “She wants to hear your story.” They sat down next to the Mock Turtle and waited for him to speak. “Once,” said the Mock Turtle at last, with a deep sigh. “I went to a school under the sea. Our teacher was an old Turtle. We called him Tortoise.” “Why did you call him Tortoise?” asked Alice. “Because he tausht* os!” said the Mock Turtle. “What a silly question! We had lessons every day, and we played games, too ...” The Mock Turtle talked and talked. Alice didn’t understand much of his story, but she listened politely. Then the Mock Turtle started to sing a song. Alice and the Gryphon danced. Suddenly, they heard a shout from far away. “The trial is starting!” “Come on!” said the Gryphon. He took Alice’s hand and they ran. “What trial is it?” asked Alice. But the Gryphon didn’t answer. They ran faster and faster, and Alice could still hear the Mock Turtle’s song behind them. 25 26 Ю. 0lie 0/iia^ ( The Gryphon took Alice to a large courtroom. The King and Queen were there, with a crowd of people around them. The White Rabbit was next to the King. He had a trumpet in one hand, and some paper in the other. There was a table in the middle of the courtroom, with a large plate of tarts on it. “They look delicious,” thought Alice. The King was the judge, and the were animals and birds. Alice saw Bill and Pat, the Mouse, the Duck and the Dodo in the jury box. Suddenly the White Rabbit shouted, “Silence in court!” He blew* on his trumpet and read* from his paper. ‘The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer day. The Knave of Hearts, he stole* the tarts, And took them far away! ” Then he shouted, “I call the first witness!” The first witness was the Hatter. He had a cup in one hand and a piece of bread and butter in the other. ‘Tm sorry,” he said, “but Tm still having my tea.” “Still?” asked the King. “When did you start?” “On the fourteenth of March,” said the Hatter, “Cut off his head!” shouted the Queen. “Can I finish my tea first?” asked the Mad Hatter. “Oh, just go away,” said the King. “Call the next witness!” Just then, Alice looked down. “Oh no!” she said. “I’m growing again!” Alice wanted to leave the courtroom, but she couldn’t move. “The next witness is... Alice!” shouted the White Rabbit. Alice stood up. “Now,” said the King, “what do you know about these tarts?” “Nothing!” said Alice. “There is a rule,” said the King. “All people more than a mile high must leave the courtroom.” “I'm not a mile high!” said Alice. “Yes, you are,’ said the King. “Nearly two miles,” said the Queen. “Well, I don’t want to go,” said Alice. “Cut off her head!” shouted the Queen. “I don’t care!” said Alice. “You’re just a pack of cards!” The whole pack of cards flew up into the air and flew at Alice’s face. She gave a little scream and tried to push them away. Suddenly she was by the river, next to her sister. There were dead leaves on her face. “Oh, are you awake now, Alice?” asked her sister. “What a long sleep!” “Oh!” said Alice. “I had such a strange dream!” She told her sister about all the funny things she saw and all the unusual people she met* in her dream. “That WAS a strange and wonderful dream!” said her sister. “But now it’s time for tea ...” i 27 Before you start The author 1 Who wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland? 2 What was his real name? 3 When and where was he born? 4 How many children were there in his family? 5 What did young Charles enjoy doing? 6 Which school did he go to? 7 What was Charles’ hobby? 8 Who was Alice Liddell? 9 How did the Alice books begin? 10 When and where did Charles Dodgson die?
