This girl is known by everyone: once she fell down a rabbit hole, and now she has passed through a mirror. Her name was Alice, and she lived in Victorian England.
Lewis Carroll wrote wonderful tales about the adventures of a...
curious girl - and for one and a half centuries they have been read with delight by children and adults all over the world.
In this book, the Victorian era comes to life - the one where traditions were immensely respected, etiquette was strictly followed, little things were cherished, and the world was transformed. Here you can master the language of flowers and the art of handshaking, learn the rules of railway travel, move step by step from Pawns to Queens, learn to read looking-glass books and fold a hat like the Carpenter.
Here you will find answers to the most unexpected questions: can a Butterfly pair with a Walrus, what to talk about with a fish, do oysters jig when was chocolate invented, how to distinguish a Marquis from a Baron, where wallet-words come from, and why the Lion fights the Unicorn.
