On an ordinary summer's afternoon, Alice tumbles down a hole and an extraordinary adventure begins. In a strange world with even stranger characters, she meets a rabbit with a pocket watch, joins a Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and plays croquet with the Queen! Lost in this fantasy land, Alice finds herself growing more and more curious by the minute...
Riddell, the co-creator of the bestselling Edge Chronicles, delivers the Introduction to Carroll's classic tale of a young girl who follows a white rabbit into an enchanted world of zany creatures. Illustrations.

what a perfect match, in tone and whimsy, found in Rifle Paper Co.’s Anna Bond.”—
Vanity Fair “Publishers are having a creative field day with
stunningly beautiful new covers—and
lovely insides, too, in the case of Puffin’s
whimsical Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, illustrated by Rifle Paper Co.’s Anna Bond.”—
Entertainment Weekly “
Chic…The pretty face of Anna Bond’s Alice looks continually astonished, and even in the scene where her neck grows freakishly serpentine, the heroine remains comely.
Elegant and unthreatening, Ms. Bond’s pictures abound with so many flowers and curling vines that Wonderland seems a much nicer place than perhaps we remembered.”—

Alice in Wonderland was published, Anna Bond, the creative director of stationer Rifle Paper Co., draws a whole new tea party in this
deluxe hardcover edition.”—
