Several years after the events of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
and Through the Looking Glass, Alice finds herself back in
Wonderland and called upon to save the world of playing cards and

soon Alice is battling to save herself from the nightmare that is

Me', or if she hadn't joined the Hatter, the March Hare, and the
Dormouse for tea? Well now you can find out - and take part. In the
Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland Colourist's Book - a companion to
Jonathan Green's new Choose Your Path Adventure Book - YOU decide

something...wonderful. Are you ready to join Jonathan Green and Kev
