Alice in Wonderland, Retold in Words of One Syllable

Name: Alice in Wonderland, Retold in Words of One Syllable
Author: Lewis Carroll

A curious child follows a hurried white rabbit down a hole and descends into a series of dreamlike episodes that upend ordinary logic and scale. She meets talking animals and odd figures, experiences sudden changes of size, and navigates chaotic household scenes, a nonsensical tea party, a croquet game presided over by a capricious monarch, and a mock trial about stolen tarts. The narrative strings together playful wordplay and absurd rules that challenge the child's reasoning and manners, then returns her to the waking world while leaving the boundary between imagination and sense delightfully blurred.
