- "Curiouser and Curiouser"We all know what happened to poor Alice when she fell down the rabbit hole? Or do we? This is definitely not Disney's Alice in Wonderland or Tim Burton's wickedly awesome version of the tale. This is it... the real deal. I've been meaning to read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for a few years now (you'd think I would've read it as a child, but nope, back then I was into Stephen King haha) and I chose this edition in particular because I fell in love with Camille Rose Garcia's illustrations. With it's fun-shaped narratives and two-page, colorful layouts scattered throughout. Originally I thought it was a shorter version of the novel, but to my joy and delight, it was the full story, so this is definitely one that I'm showcasing in my bookshelf at the moment. As for the story, well, it's complete nonsense of course, but that's the great thing about it. There are talking cats who disappear all but their grin. There are sneezing babies that turn into pigs. There are mock turtles, dodobirds, gryphons and hookah-smoking caterpillars. There is painting the roses red, a queen who won't think twice before yelling "off with his/her head", there are dormouse's with sleeping disorders who hang with nutty hatters and crazy hares. Oh, and did I mention Alice's problem with height... yea, the poor girl. Jibberish I tell you. But that's the fun of it. I would call it an organized mess. There really is no rhyme or reason to it, and that's exactly what makes it such a delight to read. Very imaginative, colorful and amusing - and I personally could not help feeling "curiouser and curiouser". I read it rather quickly too, as it's not very long. All in all, this was a very peculiar read, one that I can say is fun, whimsical and a classic that should be read at least once in your life. And one last thing, does anyone actually know: Why IS a raven like a writing desk?!

- Alice's Adventures in WonderlandAlice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories from childhood, and I am always on the hunt for different versions with different illustrations. I saw this book reviewed in a magazine (I believe it was Nylon) and knew immediately I wanted this version for my collection. I love the Gothic illustrations, I think they are a beautiful interpretation of the characters. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend this book to any Alice in Wonderland fan.

- Alice's Adventures in WonderlandThe treasure of this edition lies principally in its beautiful layout and thoroughly original illustrations. Strict traditionalists may find Garcia's gothlike depictions of their favourite Wonderland characters a bit off-putting, while fans of Alice looking for something distinctly different won't be disappointed. The text is Carroll's original classic, nicely set, with a whimsical unjustified right edge and pleasing gradient toned pages. This volume does not include Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, which is a pity -- it would have been interesting to see Garcia's depiction of the Jabberwocky. Garcia's art notwithstanding, I would more highly recommend: The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition I also highly recommend: Alice in Verse: The Lost Rhymes of Wonderland
