While delighting children with a heroine who represents their own thoughts and feelings about growing up, the tale is appreciated by adults as a gentle satire on education, politics, literature, and Victorian life in general.

All the delightful and bizarre inhabitants of Wonderland are here: the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat, the hooka-smoking Caterpillar and the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Ugly Duchess... and, of course, Alice herself - growing alternately taller and smaller, attending demented tea parties and eccentric croquet games, and observing everything with clarity and rational amazement.

These novels are part of Brilliance Audio's extensive Classic Collection, bringing you timeless masterpieces that you and your family are sure to love.

A curiosity… an adventure in a bizarre twilight zone…

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 16, 2023

Curiosity in every way… I read Alice when I was a teenager, but didn’t remember much of it, only more of the wonderful movies of Tim Burton that reinvented the worlds and the characters I’d say in a very much more exciting way. Returning to the source was quite a bizarre adventure. A curiosity, a trip in a twilight zone… I must say I enjoyed the most Looking through the glass.
Some stories, some myths are better left blurred in our memories, and explored through our contemporaries lens.

Love the pictured art in the book and the feel of the cover. Definitely an interesting read even for me but wanted to catch up on it as an adult! Still a classic though and would recommend for anyone

Occasionally, I go back to my youth (I am nearly 74) to read a book I should have read then. The book itself is fine; it contains original illustrations and is a lively little book. Let's just say it's not my cup of tea...

A weird, yet enjoyable classic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 31, 2021

Verified Purchase

I decided to read this little book due to some recent questions that I was having about perception and reality. With so many AIW references in “The Matrix” and other discussions about who and where we are, I decided to go down this rabbit hole (sorry, I had to do it) and revisit this classic. I have to admit, I had never read this “real” version before, only the kiddie versions in school, as well as heard the story told to me or watched multiple cartoons and movies on this tale. So while I knew what it was generally about, was not quite sure what to expect on paper.

This particular book has two parts- Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I found the first part deep, weird, philosophical, and taking many notes on some of the memorable quotes, situations, and contexts. In “Through the Looking Glass”, I found it harder to follow, and just let myself go with the story and its absurdity. I think that was the point, but while the story in the first part was better, there were specific scenarios that kept a reader in attention- for example the word games, number games, crazy puns, and weird questions or statements that sound so crazy, you can’t believe how realistic it is. So I would highly recommend this classic as a great story, or a possible window, if you will, into learning more about yourself, perceptions, and the “wonderlands” that you expose yourself to.

Alice in Wonderland ...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

As a kid I enjoyed watching all of the Alice in Wonderland movies so I was excited to read this book. Even though reading isn't one of my favorite things to do I was still interested when I got the assignment to read this book for class. Because I watched all three Alice in Wonderland movies, I thought I knew exactly what to expect from the book. But reading Lewis Carroll's, Alice in Wonderland is actually very different compared to the movies. Every chapter I was surprised with new information. The most recent movie spin on Alice in Wonderland featured a scene where Alice killed the Jabberwocky, a part that was cut from the first two films but was a major scene told by a poem in the book. Many smaller details, like small characters, were left out of the movies too so in all reading the book is a better option for anyone especially if you're looking to get all the information on Alice and her journey.
For those less interested in reading I don't recommend this book. Even though it's filled with amazing scenes and characters, it can sometimes be overwhelming and even boring. Alice in Wonderland is jam packed with over forty characters that are quickly introduced, some that are hard to understand and get to know. Also the setting alters rapidly and isn't always a swift change which can be frustrating because it's difficult to follow. Now if you're the type of person who enjoys great detail and beautiful scenery then you'll love the vast surroundings that Carroll created in wonderland but you also must be up for a sort of challenge.
As a fifteen year old reading this book it was always interesting, but I wasn't always intrigued enough to want to read on. I would say that this book is most appropriate for readers around the age of twelve. Lewis Carroll stylistically wrote Alice in Wonderland at a level easy enough for middle schoolers but in order for them to finish the book I'd say that they'd have to be interested enough to read it all. With all the crazy obstacles Alice is facing a person with an open mind would probably continue to read on. Also because Alice is younger it might be easier for children to relate and connect with her.
If you've seen the Alice in Wonderland movies and enjoyed them then I definitely recommend reading this book. You'll be surprised by the amount of detail left out by the movies. This book is truly amazing and I'm sure you won't regret adding it into your library.

Truly Incredible!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

As a child, I would often fall asleep listening to various adaptations of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I came to love the story and its characters, but have never, since entering adulthood, considered this book from a literary perspective. Perhaps, in my mind, it will always be a children’s book; after all, its protagonist is a child, and it considers such imaginative creatures and scenarios that it would seem out of place alongside the Victorian realism of its time. I was therefore surprised when I noticed this book, along with Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, on my reading list for this university term, but having now appreciated Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland as an adult, I realise my mistake: whilst it was once written for children, it has long since been considered an adult read, dealing with issues and themes that are considered in many other Victorian novels, such as Brontë’s Villette, and Dickens’ Great Expectations.

I’m going to be honest: I read this book in a day, and look forward to getting stuck into Through the Looking-Glass as soon as I can, because, when it really comes down to it, Lewis Carroll knows how to tell a good story. There’s nothing quite like these books when it comes to imagination, not even Terry Pratchett’s or J. R. R. Tolkien’s works. They’re fantastical, unbelievable, and somehow mesmerising, if only because they are just so different to what we are used to reading. So, whether you’re already familiar with Alice’s adventures or not, I thoroughly recommend you give this book a read, and see whether you think it is only meant for children. It’s very short, and each chapter is only a couple of pages long, which makes it easily accessible and a good read for when you only have a few short breaks in a day. Read it to analyse it, or read it for the sake of a good story; either way, read it!

Lovely stories but the edition made my reading experience very dull

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

Reading a book recently about childhood reading, I realised that I had never actually read Alice in Wonderful so resolved that I would and bought this book.
I suspect this edition would be great if you were going to be studying the text but the introduction and the notes influenced my reading experience very negatively and I didn't get an much joy from the story as I expected.
There is wonderful elements to these stories but I think they should be read from a book designed for children rather than a book which is presented as a dry academic text book. I think I wanted colourful pictures and a larger font to get the childlike enjoyment that I hoped for.

Not the illustrated version

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

I picked this up via a search for an illustrated version, which brought up a hardback copy but I wanted paperback as it’s for a decoupage project. This was listed as an alternative version of the hardback one, which explicitly stated it was the illustrated version, however, it appears that that only related to the hardback. I found this somewhat misleading as I would have thought that only other versions that were identical to the listed one would be attached to the listing in that way.

FAMOUS FOR BEING FAMOUS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is one of the books which we all think we have read. Most of the time we know the headline bits. The true pleasure is to just read both stories and enjoy the simple pleasure of a story that goes where it will, written by a very clever creative mind. An adult who can be child like and silly. Both are odd but there's nothing wrong with that. Then if you want to there is the introduction and all the detailed notes which take up more pages than the stories themselves. Perfect for the geek, but just read the stories and enjoy.

Not for an adult!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

Having done, though not completed, an Alice in Wonderland jig-saw puzzle I felt I’d like to read the story again which I read it must be 60 years ago but it really is a child’s book. In my opinion it’s not in any way suitable for an adult to read so I passed the book on and didn’t bother reading Through the Looking Glass which is also in this book. Not for me!!
