The Annotated Alice
3.5 Stars

A wonderfully whimsy tale that reveals insightful social satire and criticism of the time.

This particular edition is intended for students and scholars. In this respect, it is long on the annotation but short on the analysis. As a scholarly work it is missing some deeper insights.

A different edition might be preferable for those interested in the story alone.

I really enjoyed reading it and thought that it was a fun children’s classic book. I only read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I didn’t read a tangled tale because it didn’t seem appealing to me.
