Book Reviews of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Book Review: Charming! A must read - a perfect edition!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" - first published in 1865 - This charming and magical tale by Lewis relates the events that take place after young Alice falls asleep during her dreary lessons and dreams of following a white rabbit down a rabbit hole. Alice encounters all manner of strange and exotic creatures in her dream, and finds herself in all sorts of curious predicaments where common sense fails and the nonsensical comes to be the norm. Alice moves rapidly from one bizarre situation to the next before waking once more and relating the whole adventure to her sister.
Now, it can easily be enjoyed by children, and should be - read it to them or allow them to read it to you - but Alice in Wonderland is no more children's book than, "The Lord of the Rings" - you are going to find it much more fascinating than a child! That is the genius of Alice.
Truly a classic and should be part of everyone's cultural education. And it's nice when education is also such fun!
PS - this is a charming edition!
Summary of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
True and Complete Edition: Journey with Alice down the rabbit hole into a world of wonder where oddities, logic and wordplay rule supreme. Encounter characters like the grinning Cheshire Cat who can vanish into thin air, the cryptic Mad Hatter who speaks in riddles and the harrowing Queen of Hearts obsessed with the phrase "Off with their heads!" This is a land where rules have no boundaries, eating mushrooms will make you grow or shrink, croquet is played with flamingos and hedgehogs, and exorbitant trials are held for the theft of tarts. Amidst these absurdities, Alice will have to find her own way home. Carroll's unique play on logic has undoubtedly led to its lasting appeal to adults, while remaining one of the most beloved children's tales of all time. Among its first avid readers were Queen Victoria and the young Oscar Wilde. This is a book each of us has said we will read one day - perhaps it's time! This edition is full, complete and waiting for a book lover like you.Classics by Age Books
