Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world (Wonderland) populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure have been enormously influential.
Another interpretation could be that the author creates confusion in order to hypnotically insert in the reader's mind the suggestion that the child is all-powerful and, assuming the child in the reader likes this - sadly false - assumption, it would explain the success of the novel
