Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is nothing if not a descent in a realm where reasoning is turned on its head and the very essence of rationality is relegated to nothing but pure fancy
and imagination. The prose is reminiscent of a dream and shifts between playful and light-hearted to profound in its absurdity and absurdly profound in its philosophical inquiry. Each whimsical assortment of characters offers the reader a brilliant metaphor for transcending the ordinary and expressing every facet of the human experience. This is because Carroll built a world full of wordplay and poetic prose and masterfully crafted an astounding rhythmic quality to his sentences and stanzas. That world and prose and rhythm will fool you and make you believe, even for the smallest moment, like you have the entire world in the universe of your imagination, Nevertheless, with equal parts joy and devastation, that world will eventually snap you back to reality without warning, and you will find yourself wondering a hundred different things, and perhaps even finding a hundred different things to wonder about, even in the ordinary. The unique humor and poetic license a word to create unusual and unexpected images from seemingly ordinary things, make wonderland a dream.
Why it is excellent for learning English?
The prose is simple but nuanced enough to show wordplay in its elegance. The small-scale and full-scale conversations and different characters and styles/grammar make the reader appreciate the written absurdity of the world. The writing builds reader lexicon in a seamless structure built around the absurd, and it builds reader fluency in a seamless, almost invisible, structure. The text is dreamlike and will leave an imprint and even echoes of a world driven by imagination, the cosmos of a person in reality and prose where the cosmos in the reality of a person. The world of the imagination will leave an imprint on the reader.
