Curiouser and curiouser!’

On a hot, sunny day Alice sees a rabbit in a waistcoat and follows

it into a large hole. With this, Alice goes spiralling down into a

fantastical land of very strange creatures - talking White Rabbit,

a Frog-Footman, smiling Cheshire Cat, hookah-smoking Caterpillar,

Mad Hatter and, of course, the cruel Queen. A land where Alice can

be three inches or nine feet tall with just a gulp of a ‘curious’ drink

or a bite of a mushroom; a place where everything and anything is

possible . But where is this strange land? And will Alice ever get out

of this mysterious place and go back to the real world?

Alice in Wonderland is a classic book for all ages as Lewis Carroll

blends imagination and word-play to create a world of wonders.
