Explore "The Nursery "Alice"" by Lewis Carroll on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Did you ever play at Croquet? There are large wooden balls, painted with different colours, that you have to roll about; and arches of wire, that you have to send them through; and great wooden mallets, with long handles, to knock the balls about with.
Now look at the picture, and you'll see that "Alice" has just been playing a Game of Croquet.
