Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then . . .
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 grinning cat and 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...
Inspiring artists from Taylor Swift to Salvador Dalí, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has earned its place as one of the greatest classics of all time.
