Alice is sitting on the edge of a riverbank when she spots a white rabbit in a waistcoat disappearing down a hole. Before long, she finds herself jumping down the rabbit-hole after it, and entering a world unlike any other. Here Alice drinks unknown liquids that shrink her in size and she eats mushrooms that make her gigantic. She encounters a caterpillar who smokes and a dormouse who scolds her, and she morphs into a seven-year-old Queen after winning a game of chess. Of all the daydreams documented in literary history, Alice’s is the most outrageous, affecting, imaginative and powerful.

Alice is quite happy minding her own business, when a white rabbit carrying a pocket watch hurries past. Intrigued, Alice chases after him, and sees him disappear down a rabbit hole... Without a second thought, she follows, and finds herself falling into the magical world of Wonderland.
As Alice sets off on her adventure, she comes face to face with a smoking caterpillar, a Mad Hatter hosting a tea party, a grinning Chesire cat, and even the tyrannical Queen of Hearts herself.
Will Alice ever escape this tipsy-topsy world, where everything get 'curiouser and curiouser'?
