Meet the anthropomorphic characters Alice encounters on her nonsensical journey through this surreal Wonderland.

Chapter 1
Alice in Wonderland
Alice sat by the riverbank engrossed in her book, the warm sun making her sleepy. Suddenly she saw a white rabbit hurrying across the landscape

Chapter 2
Down the Rabbit Hole
"I am Late I am Late" proclaimed the White Rabbit as he hurried past Alice, continually looking at his watch to check the time. "Late for what"? says Alice, but to late the rabbit has disappeared down the rabbit hole.

Chapter 3
We are ALL mad here
Above Alices head sitting, in the tree, sat an enormous grinning Cheshire Cat. "Which way should I go?" asks Alice. "Which way do you want to go?" replies the cat. He then vanishes leaving only his grin behind.

Chapter 4
Time for tea
In the distance Alice could here singing "A Very Merry unbirthday to me". Sitting at a laden tea table sat the Mad Hatter, Dormouse and March Hare. "Why is a raven like a writing desk" asks the Mad Hatter". Before Alice has time to reply he says "All change" and everyone changes places.

Chapter 5
"Who are you?"
A surreal encounter and Alice now only 6 inches tall finds herself under the umbrella of a giant mushroom. Sitting upon it sits an exotic caterpillar smoking a hookah.
"Who are you?" he proclaims. Questioning her predicament he offers her the mushroom to eat, one side will make you grow smaller the other side will make you grow bigger.

Chapter 6
"Off with their Head!"
While following White Rabbit Alice sees a pack of playing cards painting the white roses red.
By order of the Queen of Hearts the cards say nervously.
"Off with their Heads" a loud billowing cry is heard. An imposing majestic figure dressed in red and with a poor pink flamingo tucked under her arm approaches the scene. "Oh the injustice of it all" says Alice. With the playing cards giving chase and nonsensible chaos evoloving Alice finds herself awakening. Why it was only a deam Or was it?.
