But finally an author who is contemporary enough to have a web page and a biography, Shelagh McNicholas. The illustration shows what happens next. Tiny Alice finds some tiny cakes and eats them. She then grows to an enormous size, filling the whole hall. She is so upset by this development that she starts to cry. As she is crying, the rabbit comes in and is so startled to find a giant that he drops his fan and his gloves and runs away again. The edition is a retold version for younger readers from Paragon Publishing and comes complete with a small charm necklace. I bought my copy at a bookshop in Chicago but as it's a British edition it's probably readily available here too. The illustrations are all charmingly done in nice pastel colours. The text adaptation is by Rachel Elliot.
