Pretty much the same what the original book is except a few dialogues are abridged.

This one is really 2.5 stars and only 3 stars when you factor in accuracy because I'll grant that it is very faithful to the book. However, the first half of this version Alice's face is drawn in such a way that she looks either pissed or smug the entire time. Yes, I know she's humbled by her journey and learns not to think she's better than everyone else but her expressions just made me want to slap her! And the reduction of the original text doesn't help because she often comes off sounding more curt and know-it-all than in the original. (Maybe the English manners obscured that for me.) Regardless, it's not a bad adaptation but trying to keep the drawings similar to the original without copying them is very difficult so kudos to Alex Blum, the illustrator, for nearly making it work.

There are many books published with this title (or Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass or just Through the Looking Glass.) The books vary almost entirely by who did the artwork.

Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorites and that is why I have been getting so many versions of this book.
