Alice discovers a secret garden that transforms her dreary world into magic.
At a bleak boarding school, Alice stumbles upon a secret garden. As she nurtures its inhabitants—a caterpillar, a lory bird, and a white rabbit—magic begins to unfold. Can Alice's kindness bring color to her gray world and lead her to the wonders of Wonderland? Discover the enchanting prequel to a timeless adventure.
Curiouser and curiouser! In this imaginative prequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice finds herself at a gray, dreary boarding school that is decidedly up the rabbit hole. From the relentless clocks to the beastly students, Alice’s world is void of color and cheer—until Alice finds a secret garden and begins tending its wilting inhabitants. When Alice’s love touches an ordinary caterpillar, a lorry bird, and a white rabbit, magical things will happen—and that, as you know, is just the beginning of the story. Filled with literary allusions and clever nods to its classic roots, Alice’s Magic Garden is a delightful prequel that begs an escape to the whimsy of Wonderland.
