Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland is one of the most wondrous, truly original stories ever written filled with magical and marvelous happenings. On its 150th anniversary in 2015, Lewis Carroll's tale of a world gone topsy turvy gets a unique picture book, turned video, retelling of the beginning of Alice's journey, with elegantly simplified text that keeps all of the astonishing adventures and wide-eyed amazement of the original. What a wonderful Introduction for young children to many of the classic Carroll characters - Alice and The White Rabbit, the Blue Caterpillar, Bill the Lizard and more. Award winning, bestselling artist Eric Puybaret creates an enchanting and magical Wonderland that looks like no other interpretation.

This 1871 sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland finds Carroll's inquisitive heroine in a fantastic land where everything is reversed. Whereas the first book has the deck of cards as a theme, this book is loosely based on a game of chess, played on a giant chessboard with fields for squares. Alice encounters talking flowers, madcap kings and queens, and strange mythological characters when she becomes a pawn in a bizarre chess game involving Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and other amusing nursery-rhyme characters.

The sequel to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" finds Alice back in Wonderland and a piece in a surreal chess game. This weird and wonderful book includes the poems "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter," a talking pudding, and that immortal line "Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow, but never jam today." Lewis Carroll was the nom de plume of Charles Dodgson (1832-1890) an Anglican clergyman, photographer, and mathematician.

This is a SoundCraft Audiobook production - enhanced with music and sound effects - of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," the follow-up story to his classic children's tale "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." It is no exaggeration to say that, over the years, "Looking Glass" has become just as popular and beloved as Carroll's first book. When the original story became a publishing sensation in 1865, renowned for Carroll's imaginative characters, creative and incisive use of language and keen wit, Carroll set to work on the sequel and the result is a wild, sometimes dark ride through the mind of a child. It tells the tale of Alice, a young girl who steps through a mirror and enters a world of fairy tale characters, talking chess pieces and anthropomorphic flowers and insects. Long hailed as one of the greatest children's books of all time, "Through the Looking Glass" is presented here in it's original, uncut and unabridged format and features a biography of the author.

A top notch retelling of Lewis Carroll's classic. Alice falls down the rabbit hole and wanders through a bizarre procession of memorable characters who have become figures of speech in English speaking culture ever since. Meet the Mock Turtle, the hookah smoking Caterpillar, the murderous Queen of Hearts, the anarchic cook with her pepper pot, the baby that turns into a pig, not to mention the grinning Cheshire Cat and the forgetful White Rabbit. This narration is humorously performed in a collection of English (one Scottish and a hint of Irish) accents to bring out the wit and wisdom of this classic tale.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Its narrative course and structure, characters, and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
