111. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chelsey and Sara discuss</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by Lewis Carroll. This short, weird, and word play-filled story explores the “slipperiness” of language, the joys and fears of growing up, and the traditions of Victorian schooling. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to the historical and literary context for this classic, we also enjoyed talking about what it feels like to be a child in a world of rules. Today’s pairings include magical middle grade novels and a cozy light academia fantasy, and we hope you find your next silly, escapist read among them. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you ready for deeper reading in 2023?
