Abstract
In 1865, under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, Dodgson would publish his story about a girl who falls into a fantastical world and has adventures with whimsical creatures, interacting with enchanted objects all to explore an elaborate “greenhouse” of a story. This book was titled Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Carroll’s story, accompanied by John Tenniel’s illustrations, is inseparable from objects’ new significance of objects to invoke wonder in Victorian culture.
