Illustrated by Carroll C. Snell. From the book: "Alice, a little girl closely related to that other famous Alice, finds herself in the kingdom of Orchestralia, where she is heartily received by the different instruments. A kindly old Bass Viol takes charge of her, and before her visit is over she has learned an amazing amount about what goes to make up a symphony concert."
