illustration "Follow me" by Ekaterina Shmyrina |
'It was much pleasanter at home,' thought poor Alice, 'when one wasn't always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn't gone down that rabbit-hole — and yet — and yet — it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what can have happened to me! When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!
There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I'll write one.'
Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 4 - The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill, 1865.
