However, the mention of a

Alice in Wonderland Lewis Carroll’s works Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There are by many people considered nonsense books for children.

Rosencratz & Guildenstern Are Dead “There's a divinity that shapes our ends,” is a theme that echoes through most of the Shakespearean play Hamlet and the new contemporary piece of work by Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.
