“Insanity made to sound half-logical -- chaos -- wordplay -- and endless, endless inventiveness. One of the strangest and most wonderful books ever written.”
“This book is quite baffling to me. Yes, I know it's a great children's classic, but I couldn't help but feel the author was simply tripping out when he wrote it.”
“this is no wonderland but nonsense compounded Fu Manchu threw up over this looking glass and still saw himself not looking back”
“This isn't the exact version we read. We read "Annotated Alice The Definitive Edition:”
“i love it because i get to read the story and learn its history at the same time.”
“is this the same version we used to read while we were kids? or is the one in which Alice grown up?”
“The version I read and possess as a treasure was published by Norton and the Intro/notes were done by Martin Gardner and the original illustrations are by John Tenniel. It has the cover that is shown on my shelf. It a "lap size" book, much bigger than a trade paperback but not really a coffee -table book. Hope that helps. James S.”
