Review of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (Chartwell Classics)
Have you ever wondered what lies down the rabbit hole?
In Lewis Carrolls magical tales, Alices curiosity leads her to fantastical worlds beyond imagination.
In Alices Adventures in Wonderland, a bored young Alice follows a talking white rabbit down his rabbit hole, emerging in a bizarre underland filled with peculiar creatures. There she encounters a hookah-smoking caterpillar, a mad tea party, and plays a game of croquet with vicious playing-card soldiers. Alice eats and drinks various substances to shrink and grow, adding to the storys dreamlike nonsense logic.
In Through the Looking-Glass, Alice walks through a mirror into a looking-glass world based on the rules of chess. More strange characters are met, like Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, and the Red and White Queens. Alice observes the poem Jabberwocky come to life in a twisted fairy-tale poem.
Carrolls magical lands are full of logic puzzles and satire, inviting readers to see the world through the eyes of a child. Alices journeys spark imagination in both children and adults alike with their whimsical adventures down rabbit holes and beyond mirrors. Wouldnt you like to follow Alice into Wonderland?
