Inside, Robert Greg (Jamie Draven), the mill owner's son, is taking over the business and modernising ruthlessly, while outside, civil disobedience is on the rise. Times are changing for better or worse and the balance of power is about to fall into the hands of a young girl called Esther Price (Kerrie Hayes).PG.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby digital.

England, 1919. Alyce -- with a Y -- lives with her grandmother, the original Alice, having lost her father during the Great War. When a mysterious invitation to a tea party hits her square in the face, Alyce realises her grandmother's strange stories of a place called Wonderland might have some truth to them after all. But the land Alyce finds herself in feels different from the Wonderland of her grandmother's stories -- for it is trapped in its own war. The Sun King and the Queen of the Moon are fighting over a stolen hour, and soon Alyce is tasked with setting it right. With the help of the Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and a Sailor Fox, Alyce will have to solve Wonderland's problems and, eventually, find her way back home. Includes bonus chapters from Anna's epic fantasy, Chronicles of Whetherwhy and the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
