Alice’s Adventures at the Castle

A picture book set in Dunedin makes a uniquely New Zealand gift for children.

Alice has another dream-like adventure – but not in Wonderland. This time her fears come true and she really does fall into “the Antipodes” – she finds herself in  Larnach Castle near  Dunedin. In her attempt to find her way home she explores this wonderful garden and its castle and meets old friends as well as new. The Door in the Tree, statuettes of Alice, the Cheshire Cat, etc. are features of the real castle garden which is open to the public.
