Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

by Lewis Carroll

Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Slovenian thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll was edited for three audiences. The first includes Slovenian-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL� or TOEIC� preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Slovenian speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Slovenian in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement� (AP�) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Slovenian Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Slovenian or English.

About the author

The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer.

His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all considered to be within the genre of literary nonsense.

Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.

He also has works published under his real name.

Absolutely as bonkers as I remember from growing up—and still just as much of a blast 😂 It's definitely a bit darker than I remembered (like the Duchess casually talking about child abuse...) but not any more than one would expect for the time period. I have so many questions about what Carroll was trying to say in this story, but enjoyed it either way.

This book was much better than I expected it to be!! It had some highly amusing quotes and was pleasantly short.

I had never read Alice and Wonderland. Honestly I only know of the cartoon movie and the awful live action that had been made. Even though this isn’t the original tale, a Dover-Thrift Edition was just fine and still the same story. Alice is one insufferable child. She is at that age where she questions everything, which is fine, but she is often rude to everyone she comes across and thinks herself to be high and mighty. The violence upon which she perpetuates upon these poor creatures is saddening. Although has the story went on, I wonder if it’s a allegory for schizophrenia rather than drugs as people seem to think. Or even DID, based on how Alice perceives herself. In the end, it turns out to be a dream, which is the age old story wrap up. Overall not a bad read for a short tale.

One of my all-time favorites of children's literature.
With recent research and interest in autism and neurodivergence, I kind of wonder how much this is a fable for people to whom neuro-typical people are completely illogical. Just a thought.
Brilliant, clever, iconic for a reason.

Listening to the audiobook is the way to go. This version was read by Jim Dale and his voice just makes everything better. Pure magic he is. He just brings Wonderland to life!

It is a very odd book! However, it's funny, entertaining, and lighthearted.
