The Story Orchestra: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Jessica Courtney-Tickle

Music and story combine in this gorgeous book. 

Tumble into a world of magic and music in this interactive retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. With the push of a button, hear the real orchestra play as the story unfolds across the pages!

One day, Alice catches sight of a rabbit in a waistcoat, speeding past. Intrigued, she follows it down a rabbit hole into a world full of drama, wonder and magic. Join Alice as she shrinks and grows, takes part in a race and is put on trial in front of the Queen of Hearts! But is it real or just a dream?

Each page features a sound button that plays one of 10 enchanting 10‑second clips from an actual Royal Ballet performance, adding atmosphere and excitement to every scene.

At the back of the book, young readers can learn about composer Joby Talbot – whose celebrated score inspired the sounds in the story – and explore a child‑friendly musical glossary filled with musical words and ideas.
