Description
Journey with Alice down the rabbit hole into a whimsical world filled with peculiar characters and nonsensical rules in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. Encounter the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts in a land where eating mushrooms can alter your size, and playing croquet involves flamingos. Originally told to three little girls on a rowboat trip, this beloved children’s tale, complete with 42 original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel, has captured the hearts of both children and adults with its unique play on logic.
In 'Dracula', when Count Dracula travels from Transylvania on a Russian ship, crew members mysteriously vanish. As Dracula continues his rampage after docking, Abraham Van Helsing is called upon to stop him. Armed with crosses, garlic, and a wooden stake, Van Helsing's quest to hunt Dracula and newly turned vampires becomes a perilous journey, challenging everything he knows about evil and redemption.
