Description

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and what is the use of a book, thought Alice, without pictures or conversations

So begins the tale of Alice, who follows a curious White Rabbit down a hole and falls into Wonderland, a fantastical place where nothing is quite as it seems: animals talk, nonsensical characters confuse, Mad Hatters throw tea parties and the Queen plays croquet. Alices attempts to find her way home become increasingly bizarre, infuriating and amazing in turn.

A beloved classic, Alices Adventures in Wonderland has continued to delight readers, young and old, for over 150 years.
