The opening
How “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” begins
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice “without pictures or conversations?”
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

About the book
Why Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a great book to read in English
Alice follows a waistcoated White Rabbit down a hole and into a world where logic is a game and every creature argues. Carroll's 1865 classic is short and episodic, but full of wordplay — exactly the kind of English that becomes a delight when a dictionary is one tap away.
On LangOrbit you read “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” with a safety net: the translation is one tap away when a sentence runs long, every word opens its meaning in context and can be saved for spaced-repetition review, and the grammar behind the trickier lines is explained right where you meet it.
