Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Carroll L., 2000.

Фрагмент из книги:
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 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 ?”

Alices adventures in wonderland, A reader for spotlight 6, Carroll L.

   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 stones.
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 Alices adventures for me!”.
