Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Original Manuscript By Lewis Carroll

 Hey Kiddos! October-December has been one huge rabbit hole for me! ((In a very good way)) I recently started my Graduate program. Having finished my Undergrad this past December, I am well on my way to TEACHING. YAY ME!!! So, in a way I feel as if I have fallen through one reality and landed in another. Now that it is sinking in bit, and I have gotten acclimated to some of the changes in my schedule, I am resuming my bookish habits. This means more posts! For starters, it is Lewis Carroll's birthday!

Banned Book: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Originally banned in china because of the humanistic portrayal of some of the animal characters, namely their being able to talk and more recently challenged in the 1960’s in relation to the drug culture of that time, Carroll’s story of Alice has been met with trepidation. Still, it’s a fine example of fantasy in children’s literature.
