Publisher Description
Following Sterling's spectacularly successful launch of its children's classic novels (240,000 books in print to date),comes a dazzling new series: Classic Starts. The stories are unabridged and have been rewritten for younger audiences. Classic Starts treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve.
Nothing’s more magical than going down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass with Alice. There, in worlds unlike any other ever created, conventional logic is turned upside down and wrong-way round to enchanting effect. Children will love reading Carroll’s many humorous nonsense verses and meeting such unforgettable characters as the Mad Hatter, the Knave of Hearts who steals some tarts, and the grinning Cheshire Cat (in Alice in Wonderland) and Tweedledee, Tweedledum, Humpty Dumpty, and the Jabberwock (in Through the Looking Glass).

Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass Listener Reviews
-
" Not the most memorable book, just one of those that one should read in order to expand the imagination. Interesting writing style. Not much to be said about it really. "
— Elizabeth, 5/23/2011 -
" Very good for a kids book, but now that I am rereading it as an older person, I find that it has no significant plot structure. Still, it was a great book. "
— Emma, 5/21/2011 -
" It was fascinating. The adventure, the poems, and the made-up words! "
— Sadie, 5/20/2011 -
" I've read "Alice" five or six times. It is my favorite book. "
— Virginia, 5/19/2011 -
" First in a long line of classics I should have read ages ago! <br/><br/>Delightful and witty, this was far more enjoyable than I expected. The puns were fantastic. "
— Christina, 5/18/2011 -
" It takes some perseverance to get through this, and really I checked out after the mock turtle. I don't really understand this book, the ending was abrupt and I'm just glad for disney's version. "
— Claire, 5/16/2011 -
" I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I would think twice about reading it with or to smaller children due to the queen's actions and comments. I could see how that would scare little ones. "
— Heather, 5/16/2011 -
" Reading this on my Kindle - love Lewis Carroll's way with words - unfortuneately, missing the illustrations!!! "
— Valerie, 5/15/2011 -
" My only gripe was the way the book was written, but that's a given considering the time it was first conceived.<br/><br/>A wonderful tale nonetheless (or series of tales, for that matter). "
— George, 5/14/2011 -
" More than the actual plot of the story, I enjoyed watching the though process of the author unravel into such odd charters and scenarios. The dialogue was very entertaining, it made you think about the words in a different way as well. "
— Gina, 5/13/2011 -
" What a curious little book. "

About the Authors
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.
