Alice in Wonderland Summary in Tamil
ஆலிஸ் உறங்கும் போது கனவு காண்கிறாள். கனவில் பல மாயாஜாலத் தோற்றங்களைக் காண்கிறாள். கனவில் வெள்ளை முயல், கம்பளிப்பூச்சி, மார்ச்ஹேர், மேட்ஹேட்டர், செஷியர் பூனை, மந்திர தேநீர் விருந்து, சீட்டுக்கட்டு ராணி, வேடிக்கையான நீதிமன்ற விசாரணை போன்ற காட்சிகளைக் காண்கிறாள். எழுந்து பார்க்கும் போது ஆலிஸ் தன் அருகே தன் சகோதரியையும் ஓடித் திரியும் முயலையும் பார்க்கிறாள். தான் கண்ட காட்சி யாவும் கனவு என்று புரிந்து கொள்கிறாள்.
