Overview: Alice in Wonderland

  
   This story starts out on a warm summer day with Alice and her sister sitting under a tree.  While under the tree, Alice becomes very tired and suddenly sees a rabbit that is walking and talking in muttered terms.  Seeing that the rabbit has gone down the tree, and being the curious girl she is, she goes down the rabbit hole and soon starts falling but for a very long time.
   After she reaches the bottom, she soon discovers the rabbit again and begins to follow him.  She soon looses him but through discovery of a golden key on a glass table and a bottle that says "drink me" she makes her way through the room.
   Upon reaching the outside, Alice discovers the rabbit once again and follows him once again.  She discovers and talks to several animals she meets along the way including a caterpillar.  Then she goes to a home where people are first introduced to the duchess, cheshire cat and "pepper" cook.  Not much happens in the house except introduces the characters for later in the story.
  Alice soon escapes from the home but not before she encounters the cheshire cat, who like the movies, appears and disappears at will.  The cat leads Alice to the mad Hatter and the famous tea party scene, no unbirthday song.  Because they didn't make a good first impression with Alice,  she scooted away herself unto the Queen's palace grounds at the first moment she could.
   While in the grounds, she is first introduced to the playing cards (people working for the Queen of Hearts) as well as the Queen/King of Hearts.  By being innocent and a mere child, she is invited to play a game of croquet.  But this game is played with Flamingoes as the sticks that you hit with, hedgehogs as croquet balls and people as the poles you hit them through.  It is much unlike regular croquet due to the hedgehog always moving around to escape and that people don't take turns as well as the reasons stated in the previous sentence.  After the game, Alice begins to talk with the Queen and happen upon a story about the Mock Turtle (head of Cow, body of Turtle).
  Since Alice is unaware of such a story and being a curious girl, the Queen of Hearts tells the Gryphon (half Eagle, half Lion) to help Alice find the Mock Turtle.  Once upon meeting the Mock Turle, it tells its sad story.  But in between a discussion of "the lobster quadrille", which is a dance with lobsters and throwing them into the sea and going after them, occurs and gets the Gryphon and Mock Turtle in happy moods.
  After Alice has heard the story, she is brought back to the Queen's grounds where a trial about who stole the tarts? (silly I know).  Three witnesses are brought to the witness chair consisting of the the mad hatter, her cook and a surprise guest that shocks the whole court.
   Afterwards, Alice realizes something about the whole adventure which puts a twist on the story.
