With its fantastical tales and riddles, it became one of the most popular works of English-language fiction.The story centres on Alice, a young girl who falls asleep in a meadow and dreams that she follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole. She has many wondrous, often bizarre fantasyland adventures with thoroughly illogical and very strange creatures, often changing size unexpectedly (she grows as tall as a house and shrinks to 3 inches [7 cm]) in an enchanted world. She encounters the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, the Duchess (with a baby that becomes a pig) , and the Cheshire Cat, and she attends a strange endless tea party with the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. She plays a game of croquet with an unmanageable flamingo for a croquet mallet and uncooperative hedgehogs for croquet balls while the Queen calls for the execution of almost everyone present. Later, at the Queen's behest, the Gryphon takes Alice to meet the sobbing Mock Turtle, who describes his education in such subjects as Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Alice is then called as a witness in the trial of the Knave of Hearts, who is accused of having stolen the Queen's tarts. However, when the Queen demands that Alice be beheaded, Alice realizes that the characters are only a pack of cards, and she then awakens from her unordinary dreamland fairy tale.Title Details5 x 8 Inches103 PagesMatte CoverWhite Paper"A stunning reprint"At 406 Vintage Press we take every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
