Purchase of the Kindle edition includes wireless delivery.Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is, for most children, pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll’s putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing “The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new”. There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle and the Mad Hatter, together with a multitude of other charact
Takes you to a magical, mystical world- essential read!,
I picked this book up again aged 26 having not read it for 15 years and it transported me to a magical, mystical world where anything was possible! Lewis Carroll’s classic tale of childhood fantasy is a must read for all children and adults alike! Carroll’s art lies in description…allow him to indulge you in tales of Mad Hatters having tea parties with White Rabbits in the woods, the terrifying Queen of Hearts threatening to behead the body-less Cheshire Cat and lotions and potions saying ‘Drink Me’…will she grow or will she shrink…read the book to find out!

|I have to say my daugter agrees with Alice…,
if there are no pictures it’s not an interesting book ;o) Thandfully this edition of Alice has the most wonderful pictures! Detailed enough to help my nearly 4 year old recount teh chapter she has just heard with no prompts from me. However, that’s not why it gets 5 stars from me, the real bunus to me was that it is printed onto cream paper with clear space between the lines of text making it much easier on this tired mummy’s eyes at the end of the day

|5 star story would be 3 star on Kindle,
I can’t give the story less than 5 stars because it’s brilliant and quite unlike the animated film so unexpectedly surprising. I can’t believe it took till I am 29 to read it. But I wanted something easy to read so I thought a children’s book downloaded to my Android with Kindle would be a nice easy treat for me between my usual mammoth (literature student) books. But as I was reading it, the story referred to a picture. And I remembered seeing a program on TV which showed an original handwritten Alice with hand drawn pictures. Now I imagine the books all have pictures in because they’re childrens’ books and not adult, so reading this on Kindle wasn’t as good an experience as reading a normal book. I’ve read quite a few (free) books via Kindle so I’m quite used to it, but I really was disappointed this time. Remembering that there were pictures that went alongside the story that would make it more alive and beautiful. I’ll never be able to read Alice for the first time again and it’s spoiled it a bit for me. So don’t read the free Kindle version, buy or borrow the book and experience it fully.
