Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels)

There are a lot of Alice in Wonderland Kindle editions. I personally feel I have made the right choice by getting this one. It has got original nice illustrations by John Tenniel which is aesthetically significant. The price is great. This Kindle edition has got good line spacings and is excellent to read on my Kindle keyboard. Don't spend your money on other kindle editions of Alice as they have either queer or no illustrations. The only disadvantage is being difficult to navigate through chapters. It doesn't worry me though. The other good news is you will get the entire series in one download. A nice read in a rainy afternoon.

I've loved the stories if Alice since I was a child. This book contains her Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and the Hunting of the Snark. This complete collection of her original adventures is a delight to revisit as an adult, and a wonderful read for kids as well. The price simply cannot be beaten!

I loved watching Alice in Wonderland as a kid, and decided to pick up the actual novels. I was pleasantly surprised to the way Carroll writes and crafts the story. It was an easy read, but still had a lot of good value to compare the Disney feature with the actual text. Through the Looking Glass was an awesome addition to have as well. To be honest, I never knew there was a sequel, and that the Disney feature had both novels combined into one story. It was really interesting to see what particular aspects and characters were left out of the movie. I personally really enjoyed this collection!

As ever, Lewis Carroll entertains both children and adults.Having read the book as a child I enjoyed it but did not actually understand the meaning of the subtler bits. Now as an adult the meanings become clear so you get quite a different perspective altogether. Also having viewed different documentaries on TV, various films and other media you get a deeper look into the authors intention.Well worth rereading at any time.

It's great to have the original complete collection. You have so many versions of the story that coming to the source is illuminating. About the illustration, you can understand a little more of the sense of absurd that Lewis Carroll wanted to show, not the sweetened versions that came after. It’s a book that you could return to a thousand times and find something that catches you again. Mapplewood work of collecting all the media versions is great for fans that want to track everything that is available. Absolutely wonderful to have it.

Classic but hard to read

This is a book that can be enjoyed by all genders and ages. It shows how the adult world may seem illogical to children. It is a fun book but also a 'coming of age' book that has many layers. Should be revisited through the years of a child to gain more depth from each new level of understanding.

I am one to look for a greater meaning. However, I'm not sure I can find one or that the author even had one! I've read that Carroll said that it was written to be purely nonsense for nonsense sake (my words not a quote!) and I think I'm ok with that! I loved Disney's version as a child and many other adaptations over the years. I can't believe it took me so long to actual read this! I do hope Alice never lost her imagination as we adults tend to do. Reading Alice's adventures helps us recall a bit of that fantastical, nonsensical world of childhood.

Habe diese Buch für meine Nichte bestellt, weil sie gerne liest. Sie ist total begeistert, dass dort auch Illustrationen sind und dies das Buch einfach noch schöner zum lesen macht.

Believe it or not, I had never read him cover to cover. It is more childish than I thought, and quite different from the various movie arrangements,.

Una edicion muy bonita con imagenes de los escritos a mano de este gran libro. Una calidad precio fantastica sin duda

Ho letto per la prima volta "Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie" in italiano, e ne sono rimasta molto delusa. Questo libro straordinario non può essere scisso dalla lingua in cui è stato scritto, e infatti ho amato la versione originale! Uno scoppio di immaginazione assolutamente geniale e irripetibile, un uso del linguaggio meraviglioso. Che altro dire! Non penso che possa definirsi un libro per bambini.
