This collection tells the stories of some of the most popular classical ballets. The tales are full of drama, excitement, and humour, from the fairytale splendour of The Song of the Nightingale and the classic romanticism of Swan Lake, to the rural comedy of The Girl who Needed Watching.
There was once a house that was full of mice. There were mice everywhere. They had lived there for years completely at peace - until the day the new cook came.
'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.
When Alice returns to the whimsical world of Underland, all is not well. The Mad Hatter has lost his madness. That is to say, he has become horribly and certifiably normal. What's more the banished Red Queen has devised a twisted plan to regain the throne. Soon Alice realizes that the only way to save the Hatter - and Underland - is to travel to the past and right old wrongs. But Time may not be on her side. In fact, he might even try to stop her. Follow Alice's adventure in this book based on the film by Tim Burton
