    About this ebook

    ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.

    Dodgson's tale was published in 1865 as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by "Lewis Carroll" with illustrations by John Tenniel. The first print run of 2,000 was held back because Tenniel objected to the print quality. A new edition was quickly printed, released in December of the same year but carrying an 1866 date.

    The entire print run sold out quickly. Alice was a publishing sensation, beloved by children and adults alike. Among its first avid readers were Queen Victoria and the young Oscar Wilde. The book has never been out of print. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been translated into at least 174 languages. There have now been over a hundred English-language editions of the book, as well as countless adaptations in other media, especially theatre and film.

      Good as always!
    • 5/5
      Here is a story I have always heard about, but never got to read or even see one of its film adaptations. I placed it under the banner of 'ILS 516 Modern Fantasy' because just as Young et al. (2020) stipulate, any work of modern fantasy has its author known (p. 148). Since this was around the time I had begun to exhaust the stack of books I checked out before my library closed, I decided to take a chance on the audiobook version for us LION cardholders. I did just that and felt that as good as Scarlett Johansson is at reading this book, it is really disappointing there are no sound effects. See, my personal measuring stick of an audiobook is Stephen King’s The Mist. My dad used to have it on cassette being told with so-called ‘3D Sound.’ This basically meant that the text had sound effects accompany it. So, if a part of the story took place during a rainstorm, you actually hear the rain in the background of the conversations. This made the book literally come to life in a way that could not be achieved from just reading it. I was hoping that because this was a fantasy story, there would be sound effects added too. For example, one perfect usage would have been when Alice falls into the pool of her own tears at the beginning; there could have been the sound of her falling into water. Yet, not a single sound effect is used. Ultimately, even though I really liked the story itself, I am disappointed it did not take advantage of the audiobook format more.

      It's hard to review 2 books at once. I loved the first book. But I was not impressed with the second. Like many, I've been spoiled by movies so I was very disappointed to find out the Jabberwocky was just a poem. I was also surprised at how young Alice truly is in the books. All-in-all was an interesting read.
    • 4/5
      This is a fun book. Not that race makes a difference but I do like that Alice in this book is of "color". Alice in Wonderland is a classic and favorite story of mine. I was on the journey from the beginning to the end with Alice. Young readers will have an enjoyable time looking at the pictures as well as reading this book. Parents will want to check out all of the books in this line by Penguin.
    • 1/5
      The best thing I can say for this book is it is short.

      I had a friend who loved Lewis Carroll, I had some time and it was cheap and I figured I'd give it a try. Honestly not sure why I finished. I remember thinking "WTF? I don't know if I can stand to finish this", checking the progress bar and seeing I was already a third of the way through. And just figuring if it was that short might as well.

      It never was so bad I wanted to throw it through a wall, but the most enjoyment I got out of it was recognizing scenes from the animated Disney movie. Kudos to Disney for managing to make an engaging film out of this word vomit.

      At first I thought that this was a story that I would love to read to my children. However, after reading this I am not so sure. There were times when I laughed at the child-like humor and then there were times when I was just like what? Some of the logic and the tales told in this story were hard to follow, so I am pretty sure it would be hard for children as well. I do understand the moral behind the story though. If you ever need to take a step back from stressful everyday life then this may be the story for you.
    • 5/5
      Many of the reviews on this site do not relate to the Salvador Dali illustrated book, but rather to another illustrator. Very Confusing.I love Alice's imaginative adventures and her increasing confidence as she accepts her changing size and bizarre circumstances.Yet, just as I did not enjoy the treatment of animals in a cruel way - the flamingoes, hedgehogs, guinea pigs - when I first read the book as a child and, although I was happy with the final resolution of the Queen and her deck of cards, the constant "Off with their heads!" was and is still annoying.Dali's paintings remain dramatic and an eternal evocative mystery. So good that this book has come to all of us!
    • 4/5
      I plan to read Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy and thought it might be interesting to reread the book, this time in French. >My first observation was that the translator did a good job and most of the book was translated well - at least to the limits of my memory. Then I did notice some shortcomings, for instance the wordplay in the mouse poem relating the mouse's tail to the tale being told just didn't work in French. However, the translator did include good footnotes. Here, he explained differences in the French and English version. He also added some historical notes that I found added value to the story. This included some symbology that I was completely unaware of. Some of the jokes and puns were, if my memory serves, and perhaps were replaced with new or similar ones taking advantage of the language differences.Overall, it is a quick read, delightful and imaginative and well worth some time spent.
    • 4/5
      Delightfully fun, whimsically amusing and what an imagination! Between the outlandish characters, the silly puns and the play with logic, it is easy to see how this book is such a great story for both children and adults. Obviously, a reader needs to love - or at least appreciate - the nonsensical fun to fully enjoy this story, especially given the caricatures and the mayhem that is Wonderland. I can see where some adult readers may revisit this one for nostalgic childhood reasons, but I think I probably appreciate the story more as a adult reader, than I would have reading it as a young girl. Overall, very happy to have finally read this children's classic.

      6/10.

      A bright and inquisitive child, one boring summer afternoon Alice follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole. At the bottom she finds herself in a bizarre world full of strange creatures, and attends a very odd tea party and croquet match. This immensely witty and unique story mixes satire and puzzles, comedy and anxiety, to provide an astute depiction of the experience of childhood.

    • 5/5
      Written in 1865, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a wonderful fantasy adventure story about a little girl who drinks a potion, which makes her very small. She falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy world populated by absurd anthropomorphic creatures. Reading level: 9-10.
    • 5/5
      I absolutely love this book. It's complete nonsense of course, but that's the great thing about it. Alice, a little girl, falls down a rabbit hole and enters Wonderland, filled with talking animals and strange creatures, and a pack of cards that has a life of its own. It's a dream, and like most dreams it makes absolutely no sense at all. It was one of my favourite books as a child, so I decided to re-read it after 30 odd years, and I'm glad I did. It made me laugh out loud.

      I read this book long ago while in middle school, and viewed it as simply a silly and nonsensical children's fantasy.However, I just re-read it, having become aware that this book is famous for it's allegoric philosophical and mathematical conceptions.The unbelievable, child like fantasy world of Wonderland is charming, and filled with things such as lakes made of tears, Mad Hatters, the Queen of Hearts, rabbit holes, and clocks that don't tell time.However, while this aspect is what meets the readers eye upon a first, cursory impression, this intricate book has far more depth, if you care to look.There is a strong sense of logic - almost in a satirical fashion, through-out the book. The concept of limit, inverse relationships, and mathematical logic is scattered through the plot, but mainly and most noticeably found at the Mad Tea Party and the first scene with the Cheshire Cat.Whether you care to look deeply into it, or simply leave "Alice in Wonderland" as a unique and inventive children's fantasy, this book is amazing!
    • 5/5
      I used to think the iconic Tenniel illustrations could not be bettered, but Jansson's are wonderful. The only edition of Carroll that contains a glyptodont (Doedicurus). Bonus fact: the first country mentioned in the text is New Zealand.
    • 4/5
      From an educational standpoint I do not see Alice in Wonderland fitting into any lesson plan. Lewis Carroll's tale went against the norm of the Victorian Age and created a new heroin in Alice. She is an innocent, unmoved character that children of all kinds will love to read on her silly adventures. Alice goes through a series of events in her dream that do not get her anywhere nor develop her in anyway. Alice purely overcomes Wonderland and it's nonsense. Children can find a sense of reassurance and identity in Alice's story by her ability to overcome Wonderland. A fun tale to read at night, but education wise for children I do not see it's purpose in a classroom. But for a classroom full of college student's Alice is fun to read in to and pick apart.
    • 5/5
      In my opinion this is a good picture book. The illustrations really enhance the story and make the reader believe they are in the story.The illustrations really fit the storyline and are filled with great detail! The front cover is a perfect example. On the cover is Alice, the rabbit, mad hater, the cheshire cat, the liquid that makes Alice get big and small, and the caterpillar! Before even reading this story, the reader is curious to see what is going to happen in the story that bring about all these add creatures. Another aspect of the book that i really enjoyed was the language. Throughout this piece of literature, descriptive language is used to help make the reader feel as if they are actually in the story. ""Oh, my ears and whiskers! The Queen will be angry," it said, and hurried off. Alice wanted to see what would happen to it: so she ran and ran, ti; she found herself tumbling down through a rabbit hole after it." When reading this I picture the rabbit with a worried expression on his face and Alice chasing after him. I also see Alice tripping on a tree root and falling into a rabbits hole. Along with the detailed illustrations, this passage makes the reader feel as if they are there watching. The big idea of this story is that dreaming is an amazing and wonderful thing where your imagination can run free.
    • 3/5
      Re-read it after many years and didn't find it held up very well. There are spasms of interest: the spaced out caterpillar and mugging Cheshire cat...but long intervals of dullness and doggerel weigh it down. An over-rated classic, redeemed (partially) by scenes of genuine absurdity and excessive silliness.
    • 5/5
      Only 2 chapters in and I'm already loving it. I can't believe it took me all these years (I'm now 39) to read this. I know the story, of course, I believe from the Disney movie, but the book is delightful. I find myself chuckling at least once a paragraph. It's just silly!

      Ya, I know it's a children's book. But certain children stories transcend age and have something to say to people of every age. Such is this one. Tightly written the character and plot develop right away, the humour is also quite amusing this story takes a little thinking on what it actually means
    • 4/5
      This is the traditional story of Alice, who falls through the rabbit whole and ends up in Wonderland where she runs into all kinds of characters and adventures. Once we realize that Alice’s adventure is only a dream we see through her sister that Wonderland is actually in the Farm yard all around them if only they close their eyes and imagine.I’ve always enjoyed the story of Alice in Wonderland with all the unexpected characters. It doesn’t matter what version of the book is read, the book is a celebration of a child’s imagination.I would use this book to introduce creative writing in my English class with 3rd or 4th graders. This story can also be used in Science to discuss the human body and how it grows.
    • 2/5
      The most over-rated book of all time in my opinion - in the face of stiff opposition from Pilgrim's Progress and Catcher in the Rye, to name but a few. I was both bored and disturbed by the claustophobic and nightmarish nonsensity of this messy fever dream of ghastly characters. The mad hatter, that terrible queen, all those odd substances saying eat me and drink me, then swimming through the sea of dormouse tears - most off-putting. Mind you, that might have been 'Through the Looking Glass', possibly the only book I hated even more than Wonderland.
    • 4/5
      I think this book is the epitome of English eccentricity, which is why I loved it. There are several stories around the author, one that he was an epileptic, and that the falling down the hole was a description of one of his seizures, another one which my sister insists on was that he was a drug addict, which sort of taints my view of this as a children's book. I prefer to think he was a brilliant man with a vivid imagination, why is that so hard for people to believe? It's the perfect book to read to a child to spark their own imagination and give them a love of books and reading.
    • 5/5
      There are reasons why some books retain their popularity.
    • 5/5
      This has to be the most intricate read and imaginatively inspiring books that I have ever come across.There is so much action occurring during Alice's time through the rabbit whole that explaining it would never be as satisfying as reading it. Each character occupies only small sections of the book but they are so memorable, so fascinating and different that one can not forget who they are, their story, and where they've come from.Alice herself is very smart for her age (9 I do believe?) and questions every question that a character throws at her. She does not fuss over small matters but instead opts through out the book to accept the differences.Carroll's characters make a lot of good points, their words have different meanings to it making the reader rethink about what they've just read. I nodded my head many times. Carroll is one for play on words and thinking outside the box about words, letters, and much much more.Through The Looking Glass may have been even more elaborate with Alice's encounter with the White Queen and her journey through an imaginary chess board to reach the status of Queen.There is so much more significant moments in the book that I want to comment on but it may just become an entire essay.This is a classic, the classic I've heard so much about and so glad I spent the time to read!
    • 5/5
      This classic tale of Alice In Wonderland is about a young girl with an imagination like no other. Her curiosity find's her trouble, and makes new friends for her. The story is a classic that has been around for decades.
    • 5/5
       This classic is written in an advanced style of language that requires a higher reading level, but the writing isn't stilted even though it's written in the old classical style. This original quality of this work is a quite good use of literary device that manages to bring us into Wonderland, as we experience some of the older and even archaic poems that Alice is required to recite. The writing quality carries Carroll's brilliance of this tale deeper into our hearts. We feel a difference in the character attributes even for those of us who know the story fairly well, in how they have been revealed to us. Alice we are shown is full of wonder in a way that is both inquisitive and adaptable. We don't see evidence of her 'temper' as it's been claimed she has one in prior film tellings of this work. The Mad Hatter we see as testing Alice, because he is both characterized as obnoxious and goading. The Chesire Cat, becomes more of a friend to Alice than he was before given credit for. The White Rabbit, is both kind of mean in the way Alice describes him as being far too busy to care about anything other than himself. I would say that this version with all of it's layers such as the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon help us see things in Wonderland much more clearly; vs. how we may have thought things were just one dimensional before.

    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll

    Evidence

    Alice! a childish story take,

    And with gentle hand

    Lay it were Childhood’s dreams are twined

    In Memory’s mystic band,

    Like pilgrim’s wither’d wreath of flowers

    Pluck’d in a far-off land.

    Chapter I

    Down the Rabbit-Hole

    ALICE was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ‘and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice ‘without pictures or conversation?’

    So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

    There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it sovery much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, ‘Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!’ (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

    In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

    The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.

    Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled ‘ORANGE MARMALADE’, but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.

    ‘Well!’ thought Alice to herself, ‘after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they’ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!’ (Which was very likely true.)

    Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end! ‘I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?’ she said aloud. ‘I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think —’ (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) ‘— yes, that’s about the right distance — but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I’ve got to?’ (Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say.)

    Presently she began again. ‘I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think —’ (she was rather glad there was no one listening, this time, as it didn’t sound at all the right word) ‘— but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ (and she tried to curtsey as she spoke — fancy curtseying as you’re falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) ‘And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.’

    Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. ‘Dinah’ll miss me very much to-night, I should think!’ (Dinah was the cat.) ‘I hope they’ll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, I’m afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that’s very like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats, I wonder?’ And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, ‘Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?’ and sometimes, ‘Do bats eat cats?’ for, you see, as she couldn’t answer either question, it didn’t much matter which way she put it. She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, ‘Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?’ when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

    Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment: she looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, ‘Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it’s getting!’ She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.

    There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.
