As Banned Books Week 2016 kicks off, I'd like to take a moment and highlight a surprising resident on the "banned multiple times throughout history" list: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Originally published by Macmillan in 1865, this charming tale, as you all well know, follows a young girl down a rabbit hole into a world of fanciful creatures and delicious puns. Celebrating its 150th anniversary last year, Alice has seen a resurgence in popularity and continues to be the #1 best selling book at Buzz Bookstore.

All signs point to an everlasting classic that has stood the test of time, right? Well, it has had to withstand more than just time over its 151 year history. Notable, it has been banned three times for some very peculiar reasons.
