Tumble down a rabbit hole into the extraordinary world of Lewis Carroll's childhood classics with these delightful BBC Radio readings. This classic collection includes two of Alice's exciting adventures, brought to life by the incomparable Alan Bennett. Alice in Wonderland Young Alice leads an ordinary sort of life until, one day, she follows a rabbit down a hole and embarks on a series of adventures with some of the most weird and wonderful characters anyone has ever encountered! She soon discovers that nothing is ordinary in Wonderland, least of all the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat, the Duchess, and the Mock Turtle.

Abridged Version Slaughters Carroll's Work
So many people who have reviewed this book derailed Lewis Carroll. However, this abridge version chops up Carroll's work. I can see why other reviewers found the story choppy.

A fun read
When reading this classic book about Alice and her adventure, one must remember that this is not the movie but where the movie originated from. This is a fun fast read that will encourage the imagination of the children who listen to it.
This book will help to bring you back to the innocent days of allowing yourself to be swept up into a whimsical adventure.
