In the book, Alice wakes to find that her bed to find it transformed into a boat drifting downstream. She disembarks to meet a number of the inhabitants of Wonderland, some familiar from Carroll's books, and some new: she meets the Red Queen, the Jack of Diamonds, the Mah-jong Dragons, the Red King, and the Red King's Gamekeeper, among others.
Her adventures involve playing a variety of games with the denizens of Wonderland. The book takes advantage of a good deal of wordplay, nonsense verse, and is faithful to the style of Carroll's originals.
