ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS by Lewis Carroll

PUBLISHER: Canterbury Classics, 9/2017

GENRE: Children's Fantasy

SETTING: England

MY GRADE: B

SYNOPSIS: Follow the White Rabbit through this classic tale in the magical world of Wonderland. Take tea with the Mad Hatter and March Hare, follow a game of croquet between Alice and the Queen of Hearts, and enjoy an adventure of logic that will entertain mature minds as much as the color illustrations will entertain young ones.

MY THOUGHTS: This review is for the 2017 Canterbury Classics edition, ISBN 9781684120369, and contains both stories. This hot pink hardcover book is cloth, except for the image on it, and is 8" x 6" x .75". The edges are trimmed in dark blue or green, I can't tell which, and beautifully illustrated in full color inside. See images below.

I like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It's a cute, imaginative story and I understand why the book has never gone out of print and is liked by both children and adults. I didn't care too much for the sequel because it just wasn't as interesting as the first and it seems like the author was just copying his previous work. The sequel didn't have the spark that the first one did.

I like Alice's personality but she seemed a whole lot older than seven years old, more like a young teen. I loved the humor too.
