Lewis Carol's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland follows the titular protagonist through a mesmerizing dreamscape where she encounters absurd characters in surreal situations.

While Alice and her sister are sitting under a tree, she sees a white rabbit that arouses her curiosity. She follows it down a hole and soon begins to realize that she has happened upon a world whose rules and possibilities are far different than her own. For example, she is able to change her size with a potion and cake, and in doing so, she becomes small enough to swim in a pool of her own tears.

As she navigates wonderland, she comes across many absurd characters, such as the Manic Mad hatter and mysterious Cheshire Cat. Finally, she arrives in the court of the tyrannical Queen of Hearts, where she is called upon as a witness. When the queen demands that Alice leave due to a rule barring people "taller than a mile high" from the court, the absurdity of the situation seems to dawn on Alice. She condemns the Queen for the farcical and ridiculous nature of the trial. As tensions escalate, Alice finally wakes from her dream, thinking momentarily that the leaves around her are playing cards.

Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland is about a young girl, Alice, who is sitting along the bank of a river when she notices a rabbit in clothing run by.  The rabbit says he is late and jumps down a hole through which Alice follows.  This is where her adventure begins with many bizarre happenings and meetings of different people.  She comes upon locked doors that she unopens with a key she finds.  Strange things such as drinking a potion shrinks her, and eating a piece of cake grows her back. 

In the middle of novel, Alice learns how wonderland works by drinking just enough potion or eating just enough cake to either shrink or grow in order to manuver through wonderland as she is searching for the garden.

While in the garden, Alice meets playing cards who are painting white roses red because they didn't plant them, and the Queen will behead them if she finds out.  Alice saves the cards by hiding them.

In the last part of the book, Alice finds herself in a courtroom where the Jack of Hearts is on trial for stealing the Queen's tarts.  This trial is just as chaotic as the beginning and middle of the book.  As Alice begins to grow again, she becomes bolder and points out the absurdity of the trial.  The Queen orders her head to be cut off, and Alice retaliates by saying that she is not afraid of playing cards.  At this point, the cards begin flying at her and she awakes from this dream.

It ends with Alice telling her sister of her dream, and her sister telling Alice that she will soon grow up, but to keep her "heart of childhood."

This is a quick summary.  There is much more to the novel, and if you follow the link below, you will get more detail.
