Great classics.
I enjoyed Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, especially as this copy has fantastic replicas of the original drawings. Although the story is so familier, it was nice to actually read it at last. I couldn't get into the Sylvia and Bruno stories at all - I was totally lost after a couple of chapters, so gave up. The poems, word games and acrostics are brilliant and well worth dipping in and out of. In all, a good read, but the classic stories remain the best.
Exhausting, nonsensical, but charming.I presume it's much like having a small child, a little bag of sunshine that makes you smile for no reason, yet infuriates you at the same time for being so bloody nonsensical.Carrol, and his Alice, much like young children in general find (and show us) wonder where otherwise we wouldn't see it.It's definitely a book / collection that everyone needs to read at least once.
Wonderful fancy and imaginative stories fit for anyone and everyone. I finally got a good taste of the literature that so much of modern children's literature and fantasy in general are based on. Very fun and well-written stories and intermingled poetry.
The Alice books are absolutely two of the best books ever written. Sylvie and Bruno, meh. Some of the poetry is too sentimental for me. But the nonsense poems are genius. The Hunting of the Snark is the funniest poem EVER!
i'm pretty sure this is the copy i have, assuming it's the rather large, 10-pound version that has, regrettably, been sitting on my parents' bookshelf for far too long. reading about Tim Burton adapting Alice In Wonderland to film reminded me of the error of my ways....
clever, satirical, well-witted, amusing.. a wonderful compilation of the known classics by Lewis Carrol, and some lesser known pieces (including mathematics poems, and works of his own, self-proclaimed "nonsense" )
this good story
Abundance of puns.
This book is a bit hard to follow, but it is totaly random and the characters are so weird. I loved it! They say the guy who wrote this was crazy, and I aggree!
Forget the complete works of Shakespeare (actually, don't - it's great!) this is the omnibus you take to your desert island.
Technically, this book is Nathan's and it's massive. I wanted to reread Alice and will probably carry on reading other works by Carroll that I've never read before. Really perfect bedtime reading.
It's a long time since I last read the 'Alice' books, and I was struck by how matter-of-fact they are. Extraordinary things happen, without comment: this seems to me to be the model for all good fantasy, the world should be so well-formed within the writer's imagination that no explanation - or worse, apology - is necessary. I challenge any modern writer to find a more self-confident and outspoken heroine. Nothing checks Alice's sense of herself; she is not troubled by self-doubt, or worried abo...
Hermoso. Hace tiempo lo leÃ, siempre vuelvo a alguna historia. Dulce y lleno de metáforas para salir cambiado, crecido cada vez que se cierra la última página. Lo recomiendo a quienes disfruran de esas narrativas inocentes cargadas de significado, los clásicos que envuelven una tarde cualquiera.
I've loved Lewios Carroll from a very early age. Luckily, my parents had the Modern Library complete works, and I devoured it. Alice as a young child and several times thereafter, later Hunting of the Snark, later the puzzles and logic problems.Great stuff!!
Many think that this is a children's book but if children tried to read it I think they would be very confused. It is an abstract story and very intelligent, so do not base your knowledge of Alice in Wonderland by the disney movie, because it is a lot darker, complicated and better.
4,75 stars - English hardcover - I have dyslexia -Note in notebook : read some poems in my schoolsysteem. This book I read while I was au-pair in Bath. 🌺🦋🌼🌸
So far I love it! I save it for reading on rainy days.
