Down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass is a world of excitement and wonder. Helen Oxenbury's playful illustrations are a charming update for this classic Victorian fantasy, but readers looking for Tenniel's original artwork will find it on the shelves as well.

Little Billy is stuck up a tree. He cannot climb down because an enormous smoke-belching SOMETHING is waiting at the bottom, waiting to gobble him up. But up in the tree Billy has discovered something marvelous: the tree is really the home of several hundred tiny "Minpins", and so are all the other trees in the forest... Delightfully silly, deliciously scary, classic Roald Dahl.
