Synopsis

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...

Review:

"Only Lewis Carroll has shown us the world upside down the way a child sees it, and has made us laugh as children laugh" (Virginia Woolf)

"Precise, dream-like, subversive" (Quentin Blake Independent on Sunday)

"The clue to the enduring fascination and greatness of the Alice books lies in language. . .. It is play, and word-play, and its endless intriguing puzzles continue to reveal themselves long after we have ceased to be children" (A. S. Byatt)

"Without these two books in my childhood I doubt whether my imagination would have developed at all" (Kate Atkinson)

""What is the use of a book" thought Alice "without pictures or conversation?" If you feel the same way, then you'll love Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It is full of good conversations. Alice talks to a pipe-smoking caterpillar and a mad hatter" (Chris Riddell)
