It's funny, joyful, sad and confusing at the same time. It really felt like a weird dream.
Oh, so English it was hard to relate. Alice was such a breast. Not as enjoyable as I'd hoped... it's just too dates. But very imaginative!
Always a favourite of mine.
The Tove Jansson illustrations are as beautiful and haunting as all her drawings.
Gorgeous book.

What an absolute treat!!! Alice is so witty and sharp, I love her. There were so many iconic quotes that I've heard all throughout my childhood, but my favorite was one I've never heard before: "It's no use going back to yesterday, for I was a different person then"
This is such a cute little book for children. It keeps the main aspects of the story within it as well as providing cute little shorter versions of the book. The illustrations are beautiful, charming, and cute. The way it opens also adds an Alice-esque whimsical charm to it.
I loved that the book added history on Victorian England, the history of food, and how both of those relate to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. However, the book also had no illustrations despite saying it is illustrated on the front. Taking out the illustrations also took away from part of the book when it tells you to look at the illustration. I think if it had these it would be 5/5 stars for me.
I am an avid Alice in Wonderland collector and that means collecting every little copy I can get my greedy hands on. Even little kid versions like this. If it's Alice? I want it. And OF COURSE I had to have the copy with a little Black girl on the cover. I've never seen Black Alice, or any other POC for that matter. So I got it. What I got was a beautiful copy of Alice that's both embodies the whimsical story but delivers on absolutely gorgeous artwork I am OBSESSED with. I know very little about art, I just enjoy it. And while books are an art form of their own without illustrations, these take it to another level. Gledhill is so amazing. I want to check out their other books with illustrations because I'm excited to see what they do!
I listened to the audiobook in the audible app. I purchased the version performed by Scarlett Johansson and it was phenomenal! First time i ever read the story although i have seen the movies before. The book was peaceful and curious to listen to. Quick, easy read while still being very enjoyable.
