Hot on the tails of the rabid success of Alice in Wonderland comes the similar, but somewhat different, sequel. The absurdity of this volume is of the same scope as the original, but in many cases, being a sequel, it seems to lack some of the uniqueness of the original. One thing I noticed with rega...
I think i liked this one about as much as the last one. I didn't find Alice as annoying this time, which is nice. *Review written on December 17, 2014.*
A Fantastic Children's Classic The childhood classics Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass for almost 150 years have been referenced and adapted numerous times over the years, but it’s not until you’ve read the originals that you truly understand why Lewis Carroll’s work ...

Alice is quite a character who gets in over her head as she's sitting with her sister in the beginning and happens to see a white rabbit carry...
To speak in broad unresearched sweeps, in many ways I think the Victorian era marks a nadir in British history. The miserable Queen and pitiless Empress instituted misery at home and imposed it abroad along with death and dehumanisation. Architecture was shoddy and parochial. Theatre was shoddy and ...
This is a book that is full of charm. Alice is an intelligent and openly curious heroine who actively participates in the fantastical adventure her trip down the rabbit hole has set her on.
