This girl is known by everyone: once she fell down a rabbit hole, and now she has passed through a mirror. Her name was Alice, and she lived in Victorian England. Lewis Carroll wrote wonderful tales about the adventures of the curious girl - and for a century and a half, they have been joyfully read by children and adults all over the world.
In this book, the Victorian era comes to life - the very one when traditions were immensely respected, etiquette was strictly followed, little things captivated, and the world was transformed. Here you can master the language of flowers and the art of handshaking, learn the rules of railway travel, move step by step from Pawns to Queens, learn to read mirror books and fold a hat like the Carpenter. Here you will find answers to the most unexpected questions: can a Butterfly pair with a Walrus, what to talk about with a fish, do oysters dance the jig, when was chocolate invented, how to distinguish a marquis from a baron, where words-wallets came from, why the Lion fights with the Unicorn.
