Enchanted socks
In honor of World Book Day, we decided to take a look at a work that has been stealing both children's and adults' hearts for years. Alice in Wonderland dazzles with its magical world, but have you ever wondered what socks the characters of the work would choose? The title character became famous for her curiosity and courage, as well as her distinctive outfit. A blue dress, white knee socks and a black headband are elements that are momentarily associated with Alice. That is why we think that the girl would opt for white socks, which refer to her traditional outfit. The White Rabbit, on the other hand, would certainly like the socks with rabbits. Both the pattern and the combination of fuchsia and orange colors are reminiscent of the extraordinary Wonderland. Mr. Caterpillar seemed pleased with his unusual approach to life. Even Alice's curiosity was not able to break him out of the unhurried rhythm of everyday life. Green socks with geometric patterns fit perfectly to such an original guy. What would make the Cheshire cat smile? Not much can surprise him anymore, so neon socks seem to be a good choice. Such a model would let him shine even better among the company. Finally, there is the Mad Hatter, a character with an unusually eccentric disposition. It is quite likely that the Hatter would love the modernistic Bauhaus socks. The multitude of patterns and colors leaves room for interpretation and is as unobvious as the Hatter himself.
Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland was written in 1865 and is still considered one of the greatest novels for young people. The author of the work is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It is a unique book that is read quite differently by children and adults. The adventures of little Alice show a surreal world of dreams, in which the laws of logic do not apply. The text, however, hides numerous allusions to Carroll's friends, as well as to his contemporary school system and social situation. A skilled reader will even find linguistic and mathematical references. This fact comes as no surprise when we learn that Dodgson was a mathematician by training, and that he wrote more than 250 scientific papers on mathematics, logic and cryptography. The author worked at Oxford University, among others, and Alice Liddell, the daughter of the vice-chancellor of Oxford University, is considered the prototype of Alice. Dodgson published his most popular work thanks to the persuasions of his friends, who were delighted with Alice's adventures. The author adopted a pseudonym, trying to separate his academic work from his literary career. During the lifetime of the author, more than 180,000 copies of the book were sold. The work aroused widespread admiration, and among its readers were Queen Victoria of Hanover and Oscar Wilde. Today, the book has been translated into approximately 125 languages. Alice in Wonderland is still eagerly read and adapted for the big and small screen.
