'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,'wrote Dodgson,describing how Alice was conjured up one'golden afternoon'in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell.
Join Alice in Wonderland,where nothing is quite as it seems.On an ordinary summer's afternoon,Alice tumbles down a hole and an extraordinary adventure begins. In a strange world with even stranger characters,she meets a grinning cat and a rabbit with a pocket watch,joins a Mad Hatter's Tea Party,and plays croquet with the Queen! Lost in this fantasy land,Alice finds herself growing more and more curious by the minute...
In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom,order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.
