Wonderland (fictional country)

Common card · No. 432142

Wonderland is the setting for Lewis Carroll's 1865 children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass. Carroll first invented the world in 1862 to entertain Alice Liddell and her sisters during a boating holiday, and subsequently became one of the most famous fictitious settings in all of English literature. Wonderland is found beneath the land of England, which Alice reaches by following a White Rabbit down a hole, through which she falls into a long tunnel. Since Carroll's first telling of this tale, Wonderland has been revisited countless times, including in the 1951 film Alice in Wonderland by Walt Disney, which was reimagined in 2010 as Alice in Wonderland and renamed "Underland," because Alice is said to have misunderstood what she had heard.
