CELEBRATE 150 YEARS OF ALICE
Oh my ears and whiskers, how late its getting!
Would you be surprised to see a white rabbit take a watch out of his waistcoat pocket? It certainly seems a remarkable sight to Alice and, full of curiosity, she follows him down a rabbit-hole into a very strange world. She meets a disappearing cat, plays croquet with a bad-tempered Queen, joins a mad Hatter's tea party and becomes entangled in the case of some missing tarts. In Wonderland nothing but out-of-the-way things happen...
Includes Through the Looking Glass.
BACKSTORY: Learn about the author and what inspired him to create Wonderland, and try writing some nonsense verse!
