Publisher Description

When Alice sees the White Rabbit run by, it occurs to her that she's never seen a rabbit with a watch before. Burning with curiosity, she jumps up and follows him into a rabbit-hole. Then she falls down a long, long way...

Down into the world of the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, the Duchess, the Cheshire Cat, and the Mock Turtle. Down into Wonderland, where an ordinary little girl can have the most extraordinary adventures. Lewis Carroll's classic tale has been translated into more languages than almost any book, and remains a perennial favourite worldwide.

With David Bamber as the splendid White Rabbit, Roy Hudd as the Mad Hatter, and Sarah-Jane Holm as Alice, the spellinding and fantastic story sparkles with nonsensical life in this full-cast dramatisation.

"The story of course is well-known. On one afternoon young Alice travels through a rabbit hole into another mysterious country where she meets loads of strange creatures and grows and shrinks several times. Parts of the story are well-known from the many film adaptions and references in other books. But I was surprised by the absurdity of some of the situations, the nonsense, the creativity of turns and liguistic puns. I guess I only got half of them right as a non-native reader of English but I laughed out loud several times. It was a great read and I know now why this book has influenced so many authors and other artists."

    " meh. I think once you've seen the movie so many times and in so many different versions, the book kinda bores you. I like Alice in wonderland a lot though. the book is a lot more descriptive and detailed, but its kinda obnoxious to read after seeing so many movies "

    " It wasn't until after i was finished reading this book that it really set in. I was so focused on trying to make sense of the plot that i missed the whole point. THERE IS NO PLOT. Even the character agree with that. Wonderland is accused of being a place that makes no sense. Although this was aggravating to me at first, i learned to read a little deeper to find all the hidden meaning this crazy book holds. As it turns out, Lewis Carrol (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) might have had just as crazy a mind as Wonderland. He made allusions to history and tackled the idea of the loss of childhood. I would have enjoyed the book a bit more if it didn't make my head hurt every time i attempted to understand all the rhymes and madness that accrued. Still, it was a book that i am glad to have read.

    " I've always loved Alice in Wonderland, but had never read the original book. I must say, the writing is quite peculiar & difficult to follow at times. Good ole 1800's style! But, still fun to read! "

About Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898), English author, mathematician, and photographer. One of eleven children of a scholarly country parson, he studied mathematics at Oxford, obtained a university post, and then was ordained as a deacon but found true success with his masterpiece, Alice’s Adventures Under Ground, now known as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which originated as a story told to a young friend, Alice Liddell, during a boating trip on the Thames. Among his other works are Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, The Hunting of the Snark, and Jabberwocky.
