Alice won't be a unfamiliar name to most (if not all) of us. Written in 1865 by English author Lewis Carroll, it is the one of the most popular children books of the late 19th century to 20th century. It's influence extends to today's entertainment, inspiring many adoptions in including numerous TV series, films, theatrical productions ans spin offs. One of the most recent one is Tim Burton's 2010 film, Alice in Wonderland, which grossed over 1 billion worldwide. Another one would be Disney classic Alice in Wonderland (1951).
A version that is more commonly recognized, Alice in Wonderland of Disney
Why is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (More commonly known as just Alice in Wonderland) still a huge phenomenon even after so many year since it's first publication? Perhaps the pure absurdity is the charm of this story. You never understand what is happening in Wonderland, like a child's imagination, the possibility is endless. The sheer craziness of Wonderland draws many people in. Alice's journey through Wonderland speaks to generations of children.

What makes Alice so special? I think everyone wants to be Alice. We all want to fall into a rabbit hole into our very own Wonderland and engage in our own adventure. Alice have changed a lot since her first apperence in 1865, it will be interesting to see how Alice will grow as the society evolves.
