Summary
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a work of children’s literature by the English mathematician and author, the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, written under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy realm populated by grotesque figures like talking playing cards and anthropomorphic creatures. The Wonderland described in the tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense.

Review
I choose this edition as it has Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.
The first book is a reread for me, but I never read the second book, so it was a good deal for me.
How to say that politely? I was not fond of it at all, and I am sad about this fact. Indeed, back when I read Alice’s in Wonderland, I liked it a lot, but now this reread change the way I see this book.
I didn’t like the character of Alice at all. She was getting on my nerves with each of her intervention; I nearly DNFed the whole book because of that.
Nevertheless, I like the drawings that are in this book and the different text forms. I also LOVE the Cheshire cat; it’s my favourite character.
I feel like I lost my time reading it, and I am sad about this fact.
Liz.
