　　紅心皇后最痛恨聖誕節，因為當她還是小女孩的時候，白兔把她的信拿給聖誕老公公時遲到了，害她因此沒收到禮物！在一個下著雪的聖誕夜，聖誕老公公終於收到了紅心皇后的信，他還來得及把禮物送給紅心皇后，讓聖誕節的歡樂重返愛麗絲夢遊仙境的魔幻國度嗎？
 
　　本書由當年最先出版《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》的出版社Macmillan出版別具意義，故事以有趣的押韻文字，搭配由英國插畫家凱特辛德利（Kate Hindley）所繪製繽紛而充滿童趣的插圖，為兒童文學不朽經典《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》增添全新驚喜。

　　In Wonderland nothing is ever as it seems, especially one Christmas Eve when Santa and his reindeer arrive with a special delivery!

　　Twas the night before Christmas, with a wonderful twist! Lewis Carroll's classic Wonderland returns but this time instead of Alice, it's Santa's turn for an adventure down the rabbit hole. Join the Cheshire-Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the reindeer for a tea party with lots of festive fun!

　　The Queen of Hearts hates Christmas – she's banned tinsel, mince pies and even good cheer – because when she was a little princess, the White Rabbit was late delivering her letter to Father Christmas and she didn't receive a present. But one snowy Christmas Eve, Santa finally receives her letter and races to deliver her gift! Will Santa and his reindeer be able to put the Merry back into Christmas in Wonderland?

　　From the original publisher of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by debut author Carys Bexington and illustrated by star artist Kate Hindley, The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland is a fun mash-up of two classics, showing the true meaning of Christmas is to be kind.

　　Kate Hindley studied illustration at Falmouth College of Art, and went on to work for two years as a print designer at a studio in Northampton, whilst working freelance on children’s books and greetings cards. She has exhibited with her good chums Girls Who Draw and Inkygoodness across the UK, and had a jolly good time painting up a totem pole for the Pictoplasma Character Walk exhibition 2011. Kate’s first picture book The Great Snortle Hunt, written by Claire Freedman, was longlisted for the 2013 Kate Greenaway Medal. Since then Kate has illustrated picture books including How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth, You Must Bring a Hat, The Same But Different Too and The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland, as well as books for older children like The Royal Rabbits series and The Girl With the Lost Smile by Miranda Hart.
