Alice in Wonderland was published in 1865 and remains in print to this day.\u00a0 Carroll was – in his real life and under his real name – a mathematician. It is his exquisite usurping of the laws of logic and reason that established the book\u2019s credentials with the intellectual elite of the Victorian era.<\/p>\n
Alice in Wonderland is also, arguably, the first \u2018children\u2019s book that was designed purely to educate and delight children rather than to simply educate them in recognising the wickedness of disobedience and the stupidity of ignoring the wisdom of one\u2019s elders.<\/p>\n
You could argue that it was Lewis Carroll\u2019s adventurous Alice that paved the way for all subsequent children\u2019s literature from Peter Pan and Wind in the Willows to Roald Dahl\u2019s Willie Wonka and JK Rowling\u2019s Harry Potter and onward to Peppa Pig, Dora the Explorer, the Power Rangers, and beyond!<\/p>\n
