About Alice In Wonderland

Step into the magical world of Wonderland in this retelling of Lewis Carroll’s enduring classic, from the highly-regarded, prize-winning illustrator of Blue Kangaroo and Melrose and Croc. When Alice follows a white rabbit down a hole she discovers the extraordinary world of Wonderland, where a magical adventure begins. It’s not long before Alice finds herself attending a very unconventional tea party and taking part in a peculiar game of croquet, all in the company of such mysterious and unforgettable characters as the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Mock Turtle. Lewis Carroll’s classic story is brought alive for a new generation of readers in this exquisite book. Reviews “Emma Chichester Clark’s intelligent update of Alice in Wonderland makes it more accessible and less frightening than Lewis Carroll’s original. Girls of 5+ should enjoy it.” Amanda Craig, The Times Praise for ‘Melrose and Croc’: 'Two irresistible new characters from the creator of the popular Blue Kangaroo series.' Winter edition, Primary Times 'A heart-warming tale of how friendships begin.' The Irish Times 'It delights children but adults will appreciate the period evocation of the festive-season cities and the off-season seaside.' The Sunday Times 'Incredibly touching story.' Primary Times 'Gorgeous Christmassy story about friendship.' Angels and Urchins 'You don't have to get too sentimental to find something special.' Junior 'A heart-warming tale.' Family Interest Magazine 'This author/illustrator goes from strength to strength… Ideal text, two mightily engaging characters – altogether the star on top of the tree.' Carousel Praise for I Love You, Blue Kangaroo: ‘This is a charming tale about affection and sharing…’ School Librarian ‘I love you… would melt the stoniest heart.
