One of the most popular and most quoted books in English, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was the creation of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), a distinguished scholar, mathematician and author who wrote under the pseudonym of Lewis Carroll. Written for young readers but enjoyed equally by adults, the fantastic tale transformed children's literature, liberating it from didactic constraints. The story is deeply but gently satiric, enlivened with an imaginative plot and brilliant use of nonsense, as it relates Alice's adventures in a bizarre, topsy-turvey land underground. There she encounters a cast of strange characters and fanciful beasts, including the White Rabbit, March Hare, and Mad Hatter, the sleepy Dormouse and grinning Cheshire Cat,the Mock Turtle, the dreadful Queen of Hearts, and unusual creatures. ---------- Also contained in: - [Alice in Wonderland](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL151449W) - [Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / The Hunting of the Snark](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL17727149W) - [Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL9770557W) - [Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass / Hunting of the Snark](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL8029136W) - [Best of Lewis Carroll](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL138061W) - [Complete Illustrated Works of Lewis Carroll](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL151414W) - [Complete Stories of Lewis Carroll](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL24036293W) - [Complete Works of Lewis Carroll](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL151444W) - [Magic in the Air](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1387662W) - [Reader's Digest Best Loved Books for Young Readers: Volume Eight](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15150278W)

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, though written in 1884, is still considered useful in thinking about multiple dimensions. It is also seen as a satirical depiction of Victorian society and its hierarchies. A square, who is a resident of the two-dimensional Flatland, dreams of the one-dimensional Lineland. He attempts to convince the monarch of Lineland of the possibility of another dimension, but the monarch cannot see outside the line. The square is then visited himself by a Sphere from three-dimensional Spaceland, who must show the square Spaceland before he can conceive it. As more dimensions enter the scene, the story's discussion of fixed thought and the kind of inhuman action which accompanies it intensifies.

After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own. Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.
