Customer Reviews

There is Alice, Annotated Alice, Facsimile Alice, and Norton Critical Alice

No room in the title for the myriad of Alice and Alice-like movies. Most have their agenda and bring with them a different dimension. If you want to get closer to the real Alice and still look at it through several lenses, this is the book for you. It covers, but is not limited to, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, “Through the Looking Glass”, “The Wasp and a Wig”, and “The Hunting of the Snark.” Some readers may be disappointed not to see their favorite theories or interpretations here; however, no book can contain everything. The quality and variety in this book make it well worth having as part of a well-rounded library.
