Many a day we rowed together on that quiet stream...and many a fairy tale had been extemporized...yet none of these tales got written down: they lived and died...each in its own golden afternoon until there came a day when, as it chanced, one of the listeners petitioned that the tale might be written down for her. Thus, in 1864, Oxford mathematician Charles Dodgson (under the pen name of Lewis Carroll) presented family friend, Alice Liddell with the first edition of what would become the inimitable classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Seven years after Alice's success, Carroll published Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, the equally beloved sequel.

Abridged Version Slaughters Carroll's Work

The abridged version takes out entire paragraphs and simplifies the language. This is not Carroll's work and people should read the full text to appreciate

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.
