Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

What a classic. I read this book so many years ago that I wanted to have a close look at it again (okay a tea caddy with a quote from this novel inspired me for a re-reading to be honest). Well, Alice's marvelous adventures will never turn old. So many great characters she meets here (LOL about the Cheshire cat or the Mad Hatter), so many allusions and memorable settings. Lovely book. A bit weird but with humor and situations I still love as much as I did as a kid. Today I see the book from a different point of view (irony and behind the scene wisdom) but I still enjoyed my trip back in time. "Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end;" you also should do so reading this real classic. Highly recommended.

Great review, Peter. I've never read the book, but the movie is one of my all time favorites. I'm going to add this one to my list!

But one of the most quoted classics ever. Alice in Wonderland is everywhere, from boxes to plays :-) all the best Peter
A couple of years ago I read the book with my granddaughter. That was an experience answering all of her questions about the weird goings-on in Wonderland.

Alice in Wonderland is one of those classics you'll never forget as long as you live. Yes, Wonderland is quite a weird one :-) All the best Peter
