A very real little girl named Alice follows a remarkable rabbit down a rabbit hole and steps through a looking-glass to come face to face with some of the strangest adventures and some of the oddest characters in all literature. The crusty Duchess, the Mad Hatter, the weeping Mock Turtle, the diabolical Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire-Cat, Tweedledum and Tweedledee--each one is more eccentric, and more entertaining, than the last. And all of them could only have come from the pen of Lewis Carroll, one of the few adults ever to enter successfully the children's world of make-believe--a wonderland where the impossible becomes possible, the unreal, real...where the heights of adventure are limited only by the depths of imagination.

I'm not usually a big fan of classics, but this was actually really fun to read. Quirky, nonsensical and full of imaginative magic.
“I don't understand you,” said Alice, “It is dreadfully confusing.”
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass. Is a book of utter nonsense. It is completely ridiculous. That is why it has become such a classic. So many people will try to look for a deeper meaning in this story. Stop looking. Just sit back and enjoy the nonsene.
I like the first book more then the second one.
It felt so nostalgic reading this. Alice's wild imagination led her to the wonderland, just like how most children do. I used to dream a lot of adventurous stuff, with my own dream friends. Often time they were so ridiculous just like how Alice's are and remembered feeling so happy when i woke up.
This book made me remember those times.
This is a great version of the classic story in that it has notes, definitions, historical facts, and other tidbits that tie into the story and help the reader better understand the plot. It's also great for people just interested in the general history of Carroll and his writings. I recommend this to anyone who hasn't read it, because it's unabridged (the first copy of Alice... I owned had many parts missing I didn't even know about till I read this version) and because it's well thought out and put together.
