    About this audiobook

    Alice begins her fantastic journey by following an unprecedented White Rabbit with a pocket watch. While in the topsy turvy world of Wonderland, Alice takes advice from a caterpillar and attends a mad tea party. She meets the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon, and participates in a ludicrous courtroom scene. Each character has its own charming voice, as B. J. Harrison delivers one of his most whimsical performances.

      This book is an enjoyable read for all years from 2 to 99 years old. It is a fantastic and fun read and should be read to children and grandchildren and handed down from generation to generation. Reading it as an adult, the symbolism is very noticeable in the narration. If you haven't read Alice before, you should not hesitate as it should not be missed!

    • 4/5
      It's hard to review 2 books at once. I loved the first book. But I was not impressed with the second. Like many, I've been spoiled by movies so I was very disappointed to find out the Jabberwocky was just a poem. I was also surprised at how young Alice truly is in the books. All-in-all was an interesting read.
    • 5/5
      I so love this book! I first read it in eighth grade, and I've read it several times since, both on my own and to my children. This was my first time listening to this audio edition. You really can't go wrong with Jim Dale. Even my 4yo and (nearly) 9yo get excited when they find out Dale is narrating one of the audio books we've picked up from the library.

      An Exercise in Insanity

      This book was insane. The adventures she had and the creatures she met...It all sounded like what a bad acid trip would be like.

      I'm honestly not sure I enjoyed it. This may require a re-read in the future.
    • 5/5
      This is a book that i assumed i had read in full. I knew all about the Mad Hatter and the dormouse and the March Hare. But I hadn't read it before. What a joy it was to read it in full and learn that Alice's cat was not the Cheshire Cat but Dinah and that a caterpillar smoked a hookah. Lovely little pocket edition too.

    • 3/5
      I have this long list of books from BBC of the best literary books to read that I plan on going through. Most of the books on the list are books that I have heard others talking about for years. They are the classics that I feel I must read eventually to know anything about what is being said about them, and have something of my own to comment. This book was on the list. I’ve seen the Disney animation years ago and so that was what I was going off of for expectations. While it had its many differences as movies versus books are bound to have, it was at its core, the same – a little weird. I sort of enjoyed listening o the book but I was left with the feeling I had after watching the movie – what a curious story. Yet maybe the whole idea was about a child’s imagination? I’m not sure. I do know that not much of the book made sense and yet that seemed to be the intent. As said in the summary this is a ‘brilliant use of nonsense’. But the book isn’t very long and while nonsensical, it is still a bit enjoyable.
    • 3/5
      At first I thought that this was a story that I would love to read to my children. However, after reading this I am not so sure. There were times when I laughed at the child-like humor and then there were times when I was just like what? Some of the logic and the tales told in this story were hard to follow, so I am pretty sure it would be hard for children as well. I do understand the moral behind the story though. If you ever need to take a step back from stressful everyday life then this may be the story for you.
    • 5/5
      In my opinion this is a good picture book. The illustrations really enhance the story and make the reader believe they are in the story.The illustrations really fit the storyline and are filled with great detail! The front cover is a perfect example. On the cover is Alice, the rabbit, mad hater, the cheshire cat, the liquid that makes Alice get big and small, and the caterpillar! Before even reading this story, the reader is curious to see what is going to happen in the story that bring about all these add creatures. Another aspect of the book that i really enjoyed was the language. Throughout this piece of literature, descriptive language is used to help make the reader feel as if they are actually in the story. ""Oh, my ears and whiskers! The Queen will be angry," it said, and hurried off. Alice wanted to see what would happen to it: so she ran and ran, ti; she found herself tumbling down through a rabbit hole after it." When reading this I picture the rabbit with a worried expression on his face and Alice chasing after him. I also see Alice tripping on a tree root and falling into a rabbits hole. Along with the detailed illustrations, this passage makes the reader feel as if they are there watching. The big idea of this story is that dreaming is an amazing and wonderful thing where your imagination can run free.
    • 4/5
      I read this book long ago while in middle school, and viewed it as simply a silly and nonsensical children's fantasy.However, I just re-read it, having become aware that this book is famous for it's allegoric philosophical and mathematical conceptions.The unbelievable, child like fantasy world of Wonderland is charming, and filled with things such as lakes made of tears, Mad Hatters, the Queen of Hearts, rabbit holes, and clocks that don't tell time.However, while this aspect is what meets the readers eye upon a first, cursory impression, this intricate book has far more depth, if you care to look.There is a strong sense of logic - almost in a satirical fashion, through-out the book. The concept of limit, inverse relationships, and mathematical logic is scattered through the plot, but mainly and most noticeably found at the Mad Tea Party and the first scene with the Cheshire Cat.Whether you care to look deeply into it, or simply leave "Alice in Wonderland" as a unique and inventive children's fantasy, this book is amazing!
    • 4/5
      Yes, I'm sure that I read this before, but what a treat to read it at my rapidly-advancing age. Not unlike the Oz books, I find this tale much smaller, in a way, than the vague, vast, and varied inklings from popular culture, but also more bizarre and interesting in its details. Looking forward to a (return) trip with Alice through the looking glass.
    • 4/5
      Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is not one of my favorite books. But this edition has really marvelous graphics that improve upon the story. If you like this book, this edition would certainly be worth adding to your collection as it is beautiful.
    • 5/5
      I won't even try to write a review. Just to say not sure why I haven't read this for at least fifteen years.
    • 3/5
      Classic story, and one I decided to revisit as an adult. Some of the leaps in logic are just hilariously absurd. The characters are fantastic, and super memorable. I absolutely loved everything related to the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar.

      For as short as the book is, there did seem to be some filler at times. The whole bit with the Mockturtle annoyed me, and I didn't care for a lot of the poems and stories.

      I listened to this one as an audiobook, and I think it may have diminished some of my enjoyment of it. Sometimes the words are laid out on page in a certain, clever way which was lost on this format. I also believe my comprehension is quite a bit lower when listening. I plan on returning to this in book format and I may update my rating.
    • 2/5
      I've done a cursory glance at the criticism of Alice - and it seems that there are layers of symbolism here, a bit of a literary puzzle to dissect. It's at turns clever, caustic, and surreal. None of this means it's any good. Perhaps I'm having the same trouble with this as with Harry Potter - Alice is clearly written for young people, and making sense or having a narrative structure are not high priorities for Carroll.

      Is this experimental fiction? It's full of non sequiturs verging on stream of consciousness. I think it possibly captures the mental states of both the adult on hallucinogens and the seven year old child. There's some heavy-handed symbolism related to coming-of-age. Carroll is a bit obsessed with the bodies of young girls. But it's quite possible that whatever drugs Carroll was taking helped him capture the surrealism and randomness of a child's consciousness.
    • 4/5
      2023 reread:

      It's been years since I last read this book - I had forgotten how short it is! While my memory of Alice's adventures was clear, I had forgotten her sister entirely.
    • 4/5
      Together with Through the Looking Glass, I've read Lewis Carroll many times. The early illustrations, by Tenniel, are often ugly, but still give a better feel to the story than the Disney film. The Jabberwocky remains a favorite poem, demonstrating the difference between the feel of a poem and its sense. There are many levels in this book.
    • 5/5
      An abridged but marvelous re-telling of this story. It shows a smart girl in a green pinafore with an apron who strives to make sense of an uncertain world. She is courageous and undaunted. And the illustrations are soft and sweet, a contrast to the satire and confusing themes in the original.
    • 4/5
      Good as always!
    • 3/5
      It was fun and bizarre and I'm happy I read it.
    • 5/5
      This one inexplicably remains a favorite. Bizarre (literally). And somehow timeless.
    • 5/5
      I have nothing new or profound to say about Alice's adventures. But the Charles van Sandwyk illustrations in the Folio Society edition are brilliant. He has not so much re-imagined the characters we know so well from the vintage Tenniel illustrations, as simply re-drawn them in his own style, which I love.
    • 1/5
      I will never understand who determines a classic! This story is nothing but garbage. A dream. Maybe if I was younger, say 10, then this story might have been funny or interesting.
    • 5/5
      Ok, I have numerous versions of Alice in Wonderland but this version has a sumptuous collection of classical illustrations along with the text. I couldn't resist it. Apart from some of my favourite illustrators such as Arthur Rackham and Charles Robinson the editor/author (Cooper Edens) has collected illustrations from Willy Pogany, Gertrude Kay, Millicent Sowerby, Margaret Tarrant, Maria Kirk...and, of course the original illustrator John Tenniel. There are quite a few other illustrators as well. I guess one would describe them as coming from the "golden years of children's illustrators" . It's a large A4 size publication ....in colour where the originals were in colour and rather well reproduced. Hard not to love it. I give it five stars. (Not because I love the story of Alice but more because I like the illustrations).
    • 4/5
      Alice spies a white rabbit with a watch in its waistcoat pocket and curious at such an oddity, follows it down its rabbit's hole into a land full of wondrous and strange things. The classic story is told here by the wonderfully versatile Jim Dale, who seems to have no end of unique and interesting voices in his repertoire. What the tale loses in lack of Tenniel's illustrations, it makes up for with auditory cues. Children who love talking animals and absurd fantasy are sure to delight in this book -- and this audio version of it will appeal to those who love having stories read aloud to them.
    • 2/5
      Audiobook. Children's/adult. All of the nonsense made this one one a lot more challenging to listen to, but for trained listeners, would make a great read aloud.
    • 3/5
      What a strange little story this is. I am happy I read it in this beautiful rendition of Collector's Editions, which included the original title (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) and the beautiful, original illustrations by John Tenniel.

      It being a great example of nonsensical literature actually doesn't help my appreciation of it, I'm afraid. Even though one can venture off and find many upon many interpretations of various scenes and characters in the story, I found that my attention was never completely captured, as there was no real storyline to begin with. Quite the contrary actually, as everything that Alice tries, fails, everybody she encounters works against her, and there is no clear goal to pursue.

      Still, the prose is beautiful, the poems are great and I understand how many of the scenes have become part of our collective culture over the last century.

      Perhaps it's a must-read, since it's a seminal work by a brilliant author, but it didn't resonate so much with me as I'd hoped.
