A fun set of children’s books. Definitely shorter than expected but very fun and full of lovable characters.

Ugh I honestly can't say this book is worth reading, while the concept is rather interesting it's much better suited being a children's movie as the books make very little sense. There is almost no plot, we just follow Alice around as she experiences this weird and wonderful world, but nothing ever actually happens.
On top of this, Alice is quite frankly a brat and her attitude makes most of the book a drag to get through.
I also struggle to banish the reality of this book from the actual work. That Lewis Carroll wrote a weird fanfic about his friend's CHILD daughter while smoking a ton of opium. On a Lewis Carroll tour, i took in England the guide revealed that Carroll's creepy obsession with the real-life Alice freaked out her parents so much they refused to let him see her - making the book he wrote about her very uncomfortable to read.

Full of fantasies. Can never guess what will happen next, which is intriguing and, at the same time, irritating. Filled with all the possibilities in wonderland, it proves itself how it makes its way to one of the most notable children’s literature. However, just a lot of jokes i did’t get at first read.
