Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation, Girl with a Pearl Earring) brings a palpable sense of joy and exuberance to her performance of Lewis Carroll's enduring classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. From the White Rabbit and Mad Hatter to the Cheshire Cat and Queen of Hearts, she imbues each madcap character with a distinct voice and personality that will leave a lasting impression long after the adventure is over.

One hundred and fifty years after its original publication, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland remains one of the most widely read, deconstructed, referenced, and reinterpreted works of Western fiction. It tells the story of the young and imaginative Alice, who grows weary of her storybook, one "without pictures or conversations", and follows a hasty hare underground - to come face to face with a host of strange and fantastic characters.

So many editions and none the same!

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018

My original purchase of Kindle's "Alice in Wonderland" a few years ago, the cover shown in the store was exactly like the book I had as a child, along with the same original illustrations. Then I discovered that after I had it in my library for a while, it wasn't what I bought! It was inexpensive, so I looked again in the store...guess what? You can't judge a book by it's cover. Even Amazon can't do it! This review will turn up, as others I've read for any book with the same title, or a variation...Alice's Adventure in Wonderland or "Adventures" , Alice in Wonderland, The Complete Adventures of Alice in Wonderland!!!!!! Egad! I've got 3 or 4 different editions, and can't seem to move to the trash, delete, dip in pieces AAUGH!!!

Trapped in dreams. (AmazonClassics Edition)

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

Multiplicity of editions can be frustrating if you want to spend correctly just once. The AmazonClassics edition is a very good edition, almost perfect, it has X-Ray, the original illustrations in a good size, modern typography and a very polished formatting; except one part: there is a beautiful poem/tale, "The Mouse's Tale", in which a mishearing makes Alice to blend tail with tale and the story appears typographically in a quite beautiful shape of a tail, sinuously getting narrower til being as thick as an individual letter. Unfortunately in the AmazonClassics Edition the shape is rather like a sinuous river, it losses its meaning. I checked other kindle edition I have, "Alice in Wonderland: The Complete Collection" edition by Maplewood Books, the illustrations are a bit less clear (at least that was I felt), the formatting, although good, it's not as exemplar as the AmazonClassics Edition but to my tranquility "The Mouse's Tale" is formatted faithful to the original, so I will stick to that complete edition and I won't get the second book, "Through the Looking-Glass," in the AmazonClassics Edition, for fear that it will not express the intentions of the author.

Peculiar book. Although built of meaningful blocks of events, as a group they are surreal; if there exists a meaning, is meant for only an initiated in the reasons of the story. For what I read it could be for the amusement of a little girl friend of Lewis Carroll. I love it very much. Weird and all, inscrutable and unfathomable as it is to me at the same time it is exciting and mind blowing. Alice falls into another world, one that changes like a dream but whereas we as actors of our dreams change along them. Instead Alice lives them quite consciously, as one of those old memories of strange events or creatures you saw, in which you are not that sure if it actually happened or, being that fantastic, it was a reverie feed by being in an unfamiliar place.

Salvador Dalí chasing The Girl With The Rope

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

It is really beautiful edition printed on a high quality paper for any admirer of Alice adventures and/or Dali's art. His paintings illustrate each chapter and are printed on the third page from the beginning of each chapter. It is so thrilling to look at each picture during reading the chapter and trying to figure what and why Dali decided to paint.

Dali's art is not everything what this edition has to offer. There are two pieces of introduction which I found very interesting. First one is written by Mark Burstain explaining why the surrealists were so interested in Carroll book and the second one of Thomas Banchoff who actually met with Dali many times and provided us with some of stories about the genius. Both of them helped me better understand the madness of Dali, or as Carroll and the surrealists preferred to address: the wisdom.

I used it as reference material for a literary analysis.

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

It is a book often cited for its use of chapter/scene breaks. As such, I used it as reference material. It worked for the intended purpose. Great book and story; however, I was more focused on the scene breaks and how they were executed.

I appreciate that Amazon has classic literary books in its library on kindle. Having access to such novels on-demand in one place, without having to make a purchase or visit a library is excellent. Yes, it is a good story. But I did not reread the entire book when I borrowed it this time. I have in the past.

The one issue I have with the classic literature on Amazon is I wonder if the publishers get paid fairly. I browsed the novel for scene breaks. I did not read the entire book this time. But that had value to me, and I feel that amount was just as significant as someone reading for enjoyment. Classic novels used as reference material may end up with poor analytics if Amazon is not considering that use case, and inadequate funding.

I decided to give it five stars. In large part because I want Amazon to know that the reference use case for their library of classic books exists, and may affect analytics.

Interesting addition

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'm not the Alice scholar that some are, but I'm still interested in the many views of Alice that have arisen over the years. Also, I have at least equal interest in Dali's work and life. So, I was very happy to see this edition of Alice with about a dozen illustrations by Salvador himself. They're beautiful, intricate, and worthy lengthy attention, but I sometimes find the relationship to the text a bit vague.

(In case this review gets cros--posted to other editions, I'm looking specifically at this one .)

This book starts with an introduction by a mathematician who knew the artist, at least a bit, and offers some notes that help place the Alice illustrations within Dali's vast body of work. This is a great item for Alice or Dali completists, but perhaps not ideal for more causal readers.

Trippy!

As soon as I found out about this edition, I had to have it. I pre-ordered this and waited months for it. I even got emails from Amazon asking if I'm still interested. Well duh! Of course I'm still interested. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of the story and wanted to see Salvador Dali's interpretations. I won't give the details away but WOW! Talk about a surreal journey. I have the hard cover, which I recommend. If you're a fan of the Alice in Wonderland story and Salvador Dali, then this has to be in your collection. You won't be disappointed.

A must read for everyone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2019

I am a fan of Alice and her adventures. Reading about them in my eightieth year reignites my imagination and the child within. I know some people do not take to the fantasy world she inhabits, but everyone, if adult, should read 'Alice in Wonderland' to test themselves, and 'Alice through the Looking Glass' awaits if the the fire is lit. One of the joys of life is to read 'Alice in Wonderland' to a child and discuss it together, preferably before they get to see any of the modern film versions.

Always Great Fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

As so many reviews on this site end up getting cross-posted I should stress that this review is for the Amazon Classics Edition of this book, which has the original illustrations, with those wonderful pictures by John Tenniel, and which have influenced all other illustrators of the book since. First published in 1865 of course Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who along with his novels and poems also wrote mathematical books, and invented and created things.

Still immensely popular and inspiring many others in the arts (not only with novelists) so this is quite possibly the world’s most famous children’s book and is always something worth introducing the younger members of your family to. Of course though, this book is still great for us older readers, as it not only brings back a piece of nostalgia but also, we can perhaps appreciate even more so the word games and other puns here. Because over the years there have been a number of other illustrators doing the artwork for different editions of this, and because our concerns and priorities have also changed so at times it is perhaps easy to miss the more symbolic things here, which show us a parody of life in the Victorian era. As the author was a mathematician so we can see that he alludes to this in places where he is scathing of the new mathematics that were starting to appear, and which would ultimately lead to new advances such as eventually quantum physics.

And so we read of here when Alice first went down the rabbit hole following the white rabbit who is late for an appointment. Just the beginning of her weird and wonderful adventure where we meet the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen, the Cheshire Cat and many other characters. Always entertaining and definitely fun this is a book that was a massive hit when it first came out, has never been out of print, and is an essential novel for any family library. To be honest there are not many books that you read as a child and can still remember many years later, showing the skill of the author here, as well as incorporating artwork, after all we are told to just look at the picture if we do not know what a gryphon is.

Why is a raven like a writing-desk?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2020

Yes, I hold up my hand and admit that I'm one of those who has seen the 1951 animated Disney motion picture after having been treated to it (on VHS, no less) for one of my birthdays as a child, and now having read the first part of its source material, Disney did a fantastic job of adapting this "nonsense" to the big screen.

I do say "nonsense" kindly of course. Does the story make sense? No, not at all, but that's the idea! I've worked with children who were given free rein to write stories and their ideas were usually bonkers and all over the place. That's what made this fun, if perhaps a little frustrating for adult readers in that it doesn't follow a logical sequence of beginning, middle and end. I bet Lewis Carroll had great fun writing it, however.

I'd thoroughly recommend the audio book version narrated by Miriam Margolyes, who does a smashing job of narrating it and bringing Carroll's nonsensical characters to life.

Er ... What?!

Time to read: 2 hours
Time to explain to child what the hell is happening: 3 hours

While I appreciate the book was written in a different time, and there are some wonderful passages, on the whole the book is just a lot of old nonsense. Which I think was the point. It was an exercise in frippery, of making something nonsensical.

The adaptations of the book do an excellent job of turning this confused half-story into something enjoyable. My daughter enjoyed the fact that she was reading it/having it read to her, but really wasn't grasping much of what was going on.
