In the wake of the London Blitz during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, Alice Spencer is forced to take shelter in a London Underground tube station. Her friend Alfred Hallam is also there, but is quarantined with tuberculosis. Desperate to keep him hanging on, Alice urges him to escape with her into the book that brought them together, ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''.
