Average Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Children's classic
This classic belongs in every child's library. As a sequel it is best read after Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and it is easy to get both books in one volume. Better still for adults and older children, get the "Annotated Alice" version with extensive notes by Martin Gardner.

Rating:

- Soso
Though this book is not much better than Alice's Adventures, the chess motif and theme does make the book much more interesting. With the bossy, dominant Red Queen and the quiet, kind, messy white queen, the book is a study in contrasts. The interweaving of the Nursery Rhyme Characters and the frequent fish poetry references does provide more continuity and a sense of sequential events than Alice's first adventure. I also appreciated the linking of the cat at the beginning and end of the story. It does still feel like Carroll did way too many opium pipes in his time. (First written as Journal Reading Notes in 1999.)
