About This Book

The soft rustle of leaves brushes past as Alice spots a rabbit in a waistcoat darting by. The air smells faintly of sweet cakes and strange flowers as she tumbles down a mysterious hole into a world where nothing is quite what it seems. With a mischievous grin from a disappearing cat and a shouting queen nearby, Alice wonders: what adventures will this magical place hold?
