Alice's Adventures In Wonderland / Through The Looking Glass

by Lewis Carroll (Adaptor)

The two Alice books--Lewis Carroll's masterpieces--are ranked by many as peers of the great adult works of English literature. And despite their riches of "untranslatable" puns, nonsense, and parody, they have been happily translated around the world. The matchless original illustrations by Tenniel share with Carroll's text the glory of making Alice immortal.

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.

titilating.

I think it was a very interesting book because lots of characters turned into different characters and it was a little mysterious!

A crazy adventure that I read in my youth. Highly recommended.

This isn’t the edition I read but the only one I found that had both stories and Lewis Carol name underneath. I listen to both on audio book. I enjoy the looking glass portion more and being a big Alice in wonderland fan I always ask myself why didn’t they ever make a looking glass animation movie and come to find out it’s because they combined both tales. Overall it’s was every whimsical tale with a good combination of both pottery and storytelling. I found myself get lost in the looking glass more and actually loving that feeling of not being completely lost or found. I can finally say warmhearted that this is my favorite class of all time.

Looking glass is 100/10. Way more witty and fun than wonderland.

Was better than I thought it was going to be. Not exactly like the movies. But if you want a quick read and like the fantasy world you’d like this!

3.5 🌟

I like this book because it is a weird fantasy book but at the same time it has some valuable meaning to it. For example, it teaches children to be careful on who they trust. I think this book would work in my classroom because like I said it is fun and can be funny but also they can learn some little lessons from it.
