Wonderland and Looking Glass are both, of course, 5*****.

I give this Penguin edition (978-0-14-143976-1), for its editorial quality, a respectable 4****. It's not comparable to Martin Gardner's Annotated Alice or to the Norton Critical Edition, but at $10 the Penguin is a very reasonably priced reading edition with endnotes along with the text of Alice's Adventures Under Ground.

My favorite since I was a little girl and I still enjoy it. It's very philosophical, imaginative and clever. I recommend it for both adults and children. ( )

Wonderful story (which we all most likely know) about Alice and her adventures in 'wonderland'. Cute illustrations. Colorful characters that Alice meets along the way on her adventure...well ... 'adventure' through wonderland.
Both Elsewhere and Alice in Wonderland hold a certain curious/mystic characteristic. Both books are clearly fiction, however, at times could seem believeable. Characters in both books take an adventure to somewhere they have never been and somewhere that is out of their control. I believe these types of books strike creativity into children's writing after reading them, making them 'step outside the box' so to speak.
