I've read a whole lot of classic children's books over the years, but I've never thought to pick up "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". The main reason for this is probably because the cartoon movie scared me silly as a child and continues to creep me out today. The crazy rabbit who won't stop going on about being late and the scary queen of hearts who is trying to chop off heads was enough to give me plenty of nightmares as a kid. Reading the famous and influential book should be interesting. I'm looking forward to the examples of realism and imagination. It should be interesting to see how similar the book is to the movie too.
