What is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland about?

Alice follows a hurrying White Rabbit down a hole and lands in a world where the rules keep changing. She grows and shrinks, argues with a caterpillar, attends a mad tea party and meets a Queen who shouts for beheadings. The book plays with logic, words and nonsense, and the strange scenes are easy to retell.
