There is perhaps no other childrens novel better known than Alices Adventures in Wonderland, which has been reinterpreted broadly, from Disneys beloved film to Robert Sabudas clever pop-up to Frank Beddors new fantasy novel. Lewis Carrolls whimsical, fantastical tale grabs every readers imagination, and it is an artists dream, bursting with visual possibility. Alison Jay has long wanted to bring her own perspective to the story. Now she shows us an exhilarating Wonderland, where Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, and all the rest are playfully quirky and adorably fanciful. With the complete, unabridged text and glowing full-color illustrations on nearly every page, this lavish edition is the perfect introduction to the noveland an elegant gift for those who are already Lewis Carroll fans.

- Amazing piece of literature!Alice in Wonderland is a wonderful piece of literature. The characters described by Lewis Carroll make the reader feel part of another world. Alice is a young naive girl who encounters some unfortunate events during her time in Wonderland. I do not agree with responders who say they did not like the book because, I honestly loved this book. All of the characters have their own unique personalities. Even if some of those personalities are strange, they are different none-the-less. This version of the book was more than helpful to me while I was reading it for a school project. The fantastic illustrations kept my imagination alive as I read along. One of my personal favorite characters is the Mock Turtle. When Alice first encounters him, he is singing about Mock Turtle Soup, which is strange because he is singing about a soup made out of his own flesh! The Mock Turtle is one of the characters that the readers will wonder how Carroll could have ever imagined. I enjoy this character because of his strange personality and even stranger way of thinking. Another character that I believe is extremely funny is the Duchess. She is mad; her baby is truly a pig; her servants are insane and her Cheshire Cat has a mocking smile! These are only two of the characters that make this story exciting and compel readers to finish the novel. I was in the musical production of Alice in Wonderland, and I loved the story so much I couldn't keep myself from reading the book! The book had many similarities and differences from the musical, but the general storyline was the same. The main difference from the book to the musical was the elimination of the minor characters. The musical did not include the lizards or the dozen animals that were washed away in Alice's pool of tears. (Just the three birds and the French Mouse!) I would definitely recommend this book to all readers! Young children will not understand all of the adult themes, but the unusual characters and great illustrations will certainly capture their interests. Furthermore, hearing one classic can get them to become more interested in other classics in the future.

- Classic Made BetterLove this edition of Alice in Wonderland. The clever and whimsical illustrations add so much. Have been reading this to my just turned 5 year old at bedtime for the last week. She thouroughly enjoys it, and eagerly turns the pages to see the next illustration. After i finish reading for the evening, she happily sits and looks through the book quietly to herself for many minutes until i remind her that we do need to turn out the light!

- The BEST Alice in WonderlandAbsolutely the best edition of Alice. I enjoyed this story as a child, but thought it might seem like "a girl's book" to my eight year old son. Not so...due to Alison Jay's illustrations which add adventure and enchantment to the story. I'll be looking for more of her work!

- A Wonderful Classic!! I read this short read in 1 day! This is a wonderful book to share with our children. Just reading from her getting stuck in the Rabbit's house to the baby turning into a pig to the Mad Hatter and so on...it was remarkable. Really takes you to an imaginative world beyond our dreams. Highly recommend it for anyone who has an imagination!!
