Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass by Roger Lancelyn Green, Lewis Carroll
3.0
Last week I read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll to the girls each night before bed.
I'd never read the book before although I've seen several movie versions (who hasn't?). Honestly, I wasn't that impressed. I suppose I thought it would be a typical situation--that the book would be so so much better than the movies. It was fine. It just wasn't as magical as I imagined it would be. The movies are always so visually striking and I thought Carroll's descriptions a bit flat.
Obviously, the story is a classic non-sensical tale and it is good. I did especially enjoy the Mock Turtle's puns tales of the sea with slight variations on the words. Amberly enjoyed it. So ultimately, it was worth it.
