I have spent my life thinking I knew the story of Alice in Wonderland, but after reading it, realised I have fallen victim to only knowing the Disney version and not the book. As far as I can remember, this was not a book I read as a child, which meant I was discovering the story for the first time this year. Alice is quite a frustrating and irritating character, which dismayed me, because I love the idea of her. There were many more adventures and characters than I remember, but also a few film favourites were missing. This does not in any way mean it's not a good story, it just wasn't the story I was hoping for.

Fun classic, incredibly annoying narrator (2021 Audible freebie)

I feel like Carroll must have been on LSD when he wrote this. Such a weird and trippy story. I'm glad to have finally read it, but I have no idea what I was suppose to get out of it...entertainment? a deep and hidden meaning regarding politics or morals or...? Honestly, no idea what it's truly about. And maybe that's the point.

Another Librivox recording.
This was a blast from my childhood! Alice's adventures in Wonderland are exciting and begin with a trip down the rabbit hole to follow the white rabbit. I think The Matrix ruined this a little but I tried to ignore it.
Alice recounts her adventures in getting big and small, swimming in an ocean of her tears, meeting fun, talkative animals (for some reason, Bill the lizard endeared me), meeting up with the mad hatter and march hare at their permanent tea time, meeting and playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts (off with her head!) and being a witness in a trial about the Queen's stolen tarts.
A fun, short book to read when Wonderland seems a little less chaotic than your real world.
