Alice is very bored on the river bank, and ot of the blue she sees a White Rabbit walking, mumbling, and looking at his watch. Alice follows the Rabbit down a rabbit hole and she lands in a hall with a tiny locked door that to a beautiful garden. She meets many creatures (the Rabbit, a Mouse, a Cartepilar) and eats many things that turns her body into gigantic or tiny size. However it takes her a long time and journey to get the right size for her to get into the garden.
She then meets a Duchess, her ugly baby, her hostile Cook, and her Cheshire Cat in the woods. Alice tries to save the baby, but the baby turns into a pig. The Cheshire Cat appears and tells her to visit the Mad Hatter or the March Hare. Then Alice arrives at the table with the Hare, the Hatter, and the Dormouse in a tea party. They are rude so Alice leaves. She goes through a door in a tree and gets into the room with the tiny door leading to the garden. This time she manages to get into the garden.
She meets three gardeners painting white roses red. They are afraid of being executed by the Queen of Hearts. Suddenly the Queen appear and invites Alice to play croquet, and Alice joins a very strange game. She then learns that the Duchess is to be executed. The Duchess is brought from prison and begins talking with Alice about the moral of everything. The Queen asks Alice to meet the Mock Turtle, escorted by the Gryphon. Alice learns the Mock Turtle's history and sees a dance called the Lobster Quadrille. Alice again tries to recite poetry with little success.
The Gryphon takes Alice back to court. The Knave of Hearts is on trial for stealing the Queen's tarts. Alice is called to testify after she grows larger again. The King orders her to leave the court, but she refuses. She is outraged by the unfairness of the court's proceedings and provokes the Queen to order her execution. The cards rise up and attack Alice. At this point, Alice realizes that she has been asleep for a long time in her sister's lap. She tells her sister about the events of her marvelous dream and then goes in to tea. Her sister is captivated by the dream and imagines Alice as a grown woman who will still have a child-like sense of wonder.
