« But, said Alice, if the world has absolutely no sense, who’s stopping us from inventing ONE?» Lewis Carroll

Like a traveler and adventurer without limits, Alice is a child at the threshold of adolescence, capable of going back and forth between these two ages of life. The incredible story of her adventures has dazzled adults and children, researchers and scholars alike, since she was born 156 years ago.

Author Fabrice Melquiot revisits the stages of this fabulous adventure where everything seems to obey only the absence of rules: the Queen of Hearts, the magic potions and the Mad Hatter, the Rabbit in a hurry, the Cheshire Cat and his smile, the Caterpillar and his riddles...

A whole mythology is summoned here, to which are added other more unexpected figures: the Little Red Riding Hood, Pinocchio or the Big Bad Wolf.

Attracted by the splendor of Wonderland, they slip in turn into Alice's story, magnetized like each of us in this world of all possibilities. This world where nothing makes sense but the dream.
