About the book

Alice follows a white rabbit into a world of absurd rules, strange creatures, wordplay and dreamlike transformations.

The right pick for readers who want playful fantasy, nonsense, logic games, surreal comedy and a classic with endless images.

The book delights in unstable size, unstable rules and language that refuses to behave.

It suits readers asking for whimsy, surreal scenes, clever wordplay and a quick imaginative classic.
