Lenny's description:

Seller's description:
Bored on a hot afternoon, Alice follows a White Rabbit down a rabbit-hole without giving a thought about how she might get out. And so she tumbles into Wonderland: where animals answer back, a baby turns into a pig, time stands still at a disorderly tea party, croquet is played with hedgehogs and flamingos, and the Mock Turtle and Gryphon dance the Lobster Quadrille. In a land in which nothing is as it seems and cakes, potions and mushrooms can make her shrink to ten inches or grow to the size of a house, will Alice be able to find her way home again?

- Not the Best Edition
This threadbare bargain-priced edition may seem like a deal, but consider before purchasing that it has no table of contents, no introduction, no forward, no illustrations, and no bibliography. Adding insult to injury, the layout of this edition is easily one the worst ever for a reprint, with all words that originally appeared in italics for emphasis printed here in big block caps, as if the typesetting was done by an abrasive kid trying to get attention in an on line chat...IF YOU GET WHAT I MEAN. If you really want to explore and experience Lewis Carroll's classic, get The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition -- for the price on Amazon, it's the real bargain. I also highly recommend Alice in Verse: The Lost Rhymes of Wonderland. Both of these books are a must for serious Alice fans as well as those just getting into Carroll's classic.

I ordered the Penguin Classics version of this book, and the seller shipped me the Signet Classics version.

- Great classic
I bought this book for my wife. She loves it. It brings back old memories. Maybe when she is finished she will let me read it.

Rating:

- Alice Classics
Wonderful books written in the 19th century but timeless for all children and adults. Both novels are contained in this publication; "Alice in Wonderland" and Alice Through the Looking Glass". You will always enjoy these for your family and pass on to future generations.

- Alice's Adventures
The book arrived as promised. I was surprised how short the stories were, having chosen to read this book after reading the Twilight series. I haven't read the added features, just the Advenures and Looking-Glass stories, so I cannot comment on their content. The illustrations were very nice. My only complaint was that the printed text was poorly spaced on the page, the inner edges being close to the center of the book, making it somewhat uncomfortable to read.
