HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland begins with Alice getting very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, having nothing to do. She peeks into the book her sister is reading, but it has no pictures or conversations, leading Alice to think, "and what is the use of a book," without pictures or conversations?

This marks the start of Alice's tale as she follows a curious White Rabbit down a hole and falls into Wonderland, a fantastical place where nothing is quite as it seems: animals talk, nonsensical characters confuse, Mad Hatters throw tea parties, and the Queen plays croquet. Alice’s attempts to find her way home become increasingly bizarre, infuriating, and amazing in turn.

A beloved classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has continued to delight readers, young and old, for over 150 years.
