 | Cheaply-made volume Jun 6, 2010 |
I bought this volume because several of the reviews mentioned that there were illustrations by John Tenniel. Unfortunately I failed to read the small print: keep in mind that most of the reviews posted to this edition refer to other editions. The edition I bought was the CreateSpace paperback with the pink and white cover.
This particular edition has NO illustrations. It is also cheaply made -- the cover is flimsy and the binding is poor. Finally, the quotation-marks printed in this book are all straight, not curved -- as if it were typed up and printed from Wordpad.
I was not satisfied with this volume. There are other volumes that cost less and are of much higher quality, for example: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (Signet Classics) | | |  | Alice in Wonderland for the Kindle May 24, 2010 |
| For the price I paid and what little space it took up, it was a bargain! 1 "book" with the whole set in one-no need to purchase every book and try to find a place on the bookshelf for it. | | | | Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass May 18, 2010 |
| There were a number of detailed, old fashioned, illustrations that I had not anticipated in the book. They are well done and interesting. It is a 291 page story with fine print and notes and explanations after that! There are notes and an introduction at the beginning of the book as well. It is very different than what I was expecting but I do like it. I bought it for a 5 year old granddaughter who has a 3 year old brother and a 10 year old sister. Mom or Dad will probably read it to the three of them in the evening. Actually it seems like more of an adult book to me even though I always read books far in advance of my age and so did my children.

| "Sublime nonsense" - is the nutshell that this book is. It's not cleverness - its just randomness disquised as cleverness. It just tosses a bunch of nothing together, shakes it up, mixes in a curious and rude little girl who's rudeness pales next to the characters she encounters in Wonderland. Those thousand monkeys at typewriters would produce something along these lines before getting to Shakespeare. For some reason, I never read this when I was discovering Narnia or Oz. Ormondroyd's "David & the Phoenix" has the spirit I expected to encounter in Caroll's book. Instead - this book starts nowhere and ends nowhere. And perhaps that is the nonsense that some find pleasing. For me it was simply distracting. The whole idea of the world's we create ourselves is a notion I have always been drawn to. Wonderland isn't even a world much less a persuasive daydream. Nothing there matters. And Alice just skips off at the end, leaving her sister to forecast a bit of standard drivel about the day when they will be grownups but always have their childhood inside. Meh. | | |  | No pictures. May 9, 2010 |
| I read and loved Alice as a child. I was disappointed with the version I received because none of the pictures of the characters were in this book. The pictures in the original were a large part of the charm of the book. | | | Write your own review about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass (Puffin Classics)
