3．Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most popular children's books of all time，and many adults enjoy it as well.It tells the story of a young girl named Alice，who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland.She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense.The popularity of the book comes from its imagination，interesting story，and artwork.
The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll.In fact，Lewis Carroll was not the writer's real name.His real name was Charles Dodgson.One day，he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family.To keep them happy on the ride，he told them a story in which Alice，the middle child，was the main character.They enjoyed the story very much.
Charles later wrote the story down under the name" Alice's Adventures under Ground" and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present.Later，he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald.George read it to his children and they loved it.George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story.Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35，000 words.It was first printed in 1866，with artwork by John Tenniel，under the name "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".The book was an immediate success.
One of its first fans was Queen Victoria.She immediately bought all of Lewis Carroll's works.She was surprised to find that they included many works on maths.In fact，Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician.
This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems.
