About This Book

A curious young girl follows a talking white rabbit down a rabbit-hole and descends into an illogical, dreamlike realm where size shifts, absurd rules, and wordplay govern events. She moves through episodic scenes—tea parties, courtrooms, encounters with creatures such as a caterpillar, a grinning cat, and anthropomorphic playing cards—that test her sense of scale, language, and manners. The narrative strings together playful puzzles, parodies of adult customs, and surreal transformations, balancing childlike wonder with satirical logic, and concludes by reverting the experience into the uncertain boundary between waking thought and imagination.
