wonderland (imaginary place)

"All Alice Liddell wants is to escape her Normal life in Oxford and find the parents who abandoned her ten years ago. But she gets more than she bargained for when her older sister Charlotte is arrested for having the infamous Wonder Gene--the key to unlocking the curious Wonderland Reality. Soon, Alice receives a rather cryptic invitation to play for Team Heart in this year's annual--and often deadly--Wonderland Trials. Now she has less than twenty-four hours to find her way into Wonderland where nothing is impossible . . . or what it seems"--Jacket flap.

"Set in the enchanting world of Alice's Wonderland Bakery, this collection of five fantastical stories, based on episodes of the Disney Junior animated series, follows the delicious adventures of Alice and her friends"--Provided by publisher.

Now in one volume are Carroll's most acclaimed works: "The Hunting of the Snark", "Tangled Tales", "Phantasmagoria", "Nonsense from Letters", and certainly, the adventures of Alice. Included, too, are facsimiles of the memorable original illustrations for the Alice books by the eminent English Artist, Sir John Tenniel. Tenniel's drawings won instant renown for their prefect integration with the text. Other illustrations in this richly satisfying collection are by the well known artist, Henry Holiday.
