Alice au pays des merveilles

Bored on a riverbank, Alice follows a White Rabbit with a pocket watch down a hole, and lands in a world where nothing makes sense. She grows and shrinks, argues with a hookah-smoking Caterpillar, takes tea with the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, and plays croquet with flamingos for a Queen who wants everyone's head cut off. The puns and nonsense of Lewis Carroll come through in the French translation he approved himself, where some English poems are replaced by French parodies. A short book, full of dialogue.
