rachela1eaf's review against another edition

Wow. What a beautiful and satisfying read. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this book; probably something sad but poignant, as many of these sorts of books I read as a child were. I did get a bit of that, but I also got a lot of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland whimsy, a compelling story, and a deeply heartwarming and satisfying ending. Full of lovely characters, intriguing ideas, and--at the risk of sounding twee--plenty of heart, this was such a wonderful read. Definitely going to need to won this for myself.

This is another book in my desultory campaign to re-read books that I liked in childhood and see if they stand up to adult scrutiny.
