It may not be the most beloved children's story ever, but it may be the best known. With a cast of characters known the world over, and reproduced in every entertainment form imaginable, it's made "Alice" the one word name that everyone recognizes as Lewis Carroll's iconic character. And there is an unnerving quality about it that leaves you thinking that, just maybe, this crazy world does exist somewhere in some dimension, and that we make wake up some morning and find ourselves in the "Twilight Zone" of Alice's Wonderland.Rating Out Of Books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Other Stories

"LOVE-lighted eyes, that will not startAt frown of rage or malice!Uplifted brow, undaunted heartReady to dine on raspberry-tartAlong with fairy Alice!"Happy blabbering nonsense, puzzling riddles, surreal phantasms, a profound love for tea, talking rabbits, invisible fairies and a perfect understanding of how the world looks through the eyes of a child. That is the essential ingredients of Carroll's writing. No author has ever since made such magnificent wordplay and used such a heavy amount ofFirst of all, this edition of the book is just gorgeous. Secondly, I'm not really going to review the book per say because let's face it, Carroll is a strange yet fascinating writer whose work barely makes any sense. His writing is unintelligible most of the time, yet the stories of Alice and her adventures in Wonderland are highly acclaimed, perhaps purely because they are so original? I don't know what to think of Lewis Carroll as a person, or as an author. All I know is that Alice's
Been eyeing this adorable pink & gold leatherbound edition for months. On a whim I finally walked into Barnes & Noble and bought it. When I got home that same night, I finished Alice's Adventures in a sitting. Such an easy and lovable read for me; I have many, many times before. Even as an adult I feel akin to Alice still. Happy to have this on my shelf and to dive into "Other Stories" within the next few months/years, whenever that mood strikes.
This is the first Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classic book I have read, and judging by only the cover, it's absolutely astounding. Cute and pink with wonderful artwork, and pages dipped in gold which gives the pages that ''old'' vintage feeling! The first two parts of the book is of course the Alice books - I finished those in a day each, it was wonderful reliving my childhood, and also learning more about the books, as the Disney and Tim Burton movies are just mere interpretations. I loved
"The question is", said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is", said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be the master -- that is all."And a good question it is! Though this collection holds far more than just the well-known Alice in Wonderland stories, those were my favourites. Carroll is incredibly witty and really has a way with words that shows best in those stories and, in my opinion, a few short stories and some of his poetry. He masterfully
My favourite edition of my favourite story. I am sat re-reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and still smile at every page.
I'll stick to the Disney movie. This was a bit trippy for me. Definitely a nice classic to read the original and understand the original story though.
