Rating: Summary: Choose this edition for your library. Review: A joke is always funnier if you understand it, and the Alice tales are so full of inside jokes that you need someone to explain them. The Annotated Alice does just that. Carroll's tales are here, complete and unabridged, and the editors have painstakingly provided every piece of explanation and commentary you could ever wish for. Complete with Tenniell's original illustrations (although, alas, not colorized), this is a book any girl, little or big, can cherish.
Rating: Summary: Alice is a whimsical fantasy that should be read by all. Review: Alice in Wonderland is a masterpiece of a book, and transports readers to Carroll's whimsical Victorian world. I encourage parents to read this marvelous book to their children. I was read this book when I was four and I still dream about this silly, magical wonderland that is explored by Alice. If you read this to children, IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE! I believe that this book should be in every children's library.
Rating: Summary: A must-read for Alice fans Review: Alice in Wonderland is an extraordinarily fascinating and delightful story, replete with jokes, puzzles, and nonsense of the highest order. But in order to appreciate it fully, the modern, non-Victorian reader requires some guidance, as well as an adequate background on the man and the times that produced Alice. Martin Gardner, the greatest figure ever in recreational mathematics, provides readers with all the information they need to appreciate this story at its various levels. This book occupies a place of privilege in the library of every serious Alice fan.
Rating: Summary: In a word: WONDERFUL. (And I mean that literally) Review: As the cover says:Said Gardner to Carroll,/ Come let us not quarrel/ 'Bout Looking-glass logic/ Or Wonderland lore I'm a man without malice,/ I'll annotate Alice,/ Yes, I'll wake up the Dormouse/ And tell him the score. I'll translate the Jabberwock,/ Show who the turtles mock,/ Tame the Mad Hatter,/ And analyse Chess, I'll spice and I'll season/ Your rhyme with my reason,/ And we two'll give Alice/ A new party dress.
Rating: Summary: yo dis iz da bomb! Review: dis book be bumpin. yo it da ishhhhhhhhh. Alice, oh dat fly hunny be bustin me up yo. It's fly, it's fly
Rating: Summary: Good Review: I am ten years old. I liked Alice in Wonderland but it should be described more. If that was the only flaw I would have given it 4 stars but sometimes its hard to concentrat on the conversation
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: I read this for the first time some 23 years ago when I was a young boy of twelve, and I found myself unexpectingly enjoying a story I never thought I would like. If you loved the stories in and of themselves, the annotation in this edition will provide a new appreciation of Carroll's humor and insight into the world as he saw it.
Rating: Summary: the greatest children's book ever Review: i recently re read alice in wonderland and through the looking glass.i hadn't read them since my childhood.i wasn't disappointed.they were as beautiful as i rememembered.alice is one of the most endearing figures in literature.anyone who downgrades this classic is either looking for attention or truly ignorant.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Gift Review: I was given this as a birthday gift as a child, and find it is one of the few gifts I can remember receiving. And probably the only one I still use, nearly 30 years later. If you enjoy Alice, you will love to know more of the background, and inside jokes that you will no doubt miss without this book.
