Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Description

The perfect gift for a young reader. Share your beloved childhood stories with the next generation! When Alice sees a White Rabbit with a waistcoat and a watch hurrying down a rabbit hole, she follows him without a thought for where she is going, and how she will get home. She finds herself in a world beyond imagination, where she seems never to be the same size for more than five minutes, where riddles have no answers, where playing cards rule, and where no one seems sane or sensible. In Alice's quest to find her way home, she meets a cast of unforgettable characters - the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, the sleepy Dormouse, the fearsome Queen of Hearts and, of course, the smiling Cheshire Cat. But where is the White Rabbit? And what is he late for? And how will she ever find her way home? For over 150 years, the story that Lewis Carroll wrote as a celebration of the magical realms of the human imagination has enchanted generations of readers with its memorable characters, passages and verses.
