Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The book recounts a dream in which Alice moves across the landscape of a chessboard until she is crowned queen. The plot is elaborated as a game of chess‚ and in characters such as Humpty Dumpty and poems such as "Jabberwocky"‚ Carroll has sophisticated fun with the conventions of logic and language. Even more than its predecessor‚ the book is permeated by a sense of the sadness of growing up‚ especially in the character of the White
