Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Books of Wonder)

This edition was nice because it is a reprint of the original wood engraving illustrations. Read this out loud to my kids and they were fascinated by the story. We were surprised at the end to find out that Alice had dreamed it all.

This novel and its' counterpart, Through the Looking Glass, form a unique portrayal of fantasy that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. Adults may also appreciate the wonderful wordplay and levels of humor that make these books classics. I first read this as a young boy when I fell in love with the characters and the poetry and the flights of imagination of Lewis Carroll. I also was mesmerized by the famous Tenniel illustrations that augmented the story from almost every other page. From the moment that Alice saw the Rabbit through her many encounters with other magical characters in Wonderland this book quickly became one of my favorites and has remained so for more than fifty years.

For me, books don't have to be logical or sensible. I appreciate the fun and the absurd!

This about a girl who fell through a tree stump into another world. The world was full of magic and obstacles she had to over come. This book is appropriate for any age.

A true masterpiece. If You don't read this, You have not really read anything.
