About this audiobook

Chasing the White Rabbit, Alice tumbles down a long hole into Wonderland, where a sip or a bite can shrink her to inches or shoot her up to the ceiling. She swims in her own pool of tears, joins a soggy caucus-race, argues with a hookah-smoking Caterpillar, meets a baby that turns into a pig and a cat that fades to a grin, and sits through the maddest tea-party in history with the Hatter and the March Hare. At last she reaches the garden of the furious Queen of Hearts — croquet with flamingo mallets, a trial over stolen tarts — and when the whole pack of cards flies up at her face, Alice wakes on the riverbank with her sister, the dream already fading.

Why it's worth a listen

A bored girl on a summer afternoon follows a waistcoated rabbit down a hole and falls into the funniest, strangest dream ever written — a world of grinning cats, mad tea-parties, and a queen who shouts 'Off with her head!' about everything. It is pure delight: nonsense that somehow makes its own kind of sense, and a heroine who stays polite and brave while she grows tall as a house and small as a mouse. And underneath the giggling it turns on the question this telling leaves you with: when everything around you keeps changing, how do you hold on to who you are?
