Alice In Wonderland...
“Curiouser and curiouser!” – This remark made by Alice in Alice in Wonderland can be best used to describe the girl herself.

This question was answered when she saw him reach for his watch from his waistcoat pocket and cry out in panic. She immediately started following the rabbit that disappeared down a rabbit hole. Not wasting a second, she too went down the hole that seemed like an eternal tunnel. The journey down seemed long and slow till she landed with a loud thump. Not hurt, and not stopping to think about where she was, she sprinted after the White Rabbit again. She did not realize that this was the start of a magical adventure in a world full of enchanted characters that would change her perspective of everything and everybody. Follow her down the rabbit hole and meet the special characters she comes across in this wonderland, including the wise Cheshire Cat, the blue Caterpillar smoking a hookah, the Mad Hatter at the mad tea-party, and the ill-tempered Queen of Hearts with her famous line “Off with their heads!”
