Alice'sadventures in Wonderland (Illustrated) | Lewis Caroll

Background Page from the original manuscript copy of Alice's Adventures Under Ground, 1864Alice was published in 1865, three years after Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed a boat up the Isis on 4 July 1862 (this popular date of the "golden afternoon" might be a confusion or even another Alice-tale, for that particular day was cool, cloudy, and rainy) with the three young daughters of Henry Liddell (the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Christ Church): Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13, born 1849, "Prima" in the book's prefatory verse); Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10, born 1852, "Secunda" in the prefatory verse); Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8, born 1853, "Tertia" in the prefatory verse).The journey began at Folly Bridge in Oxford and ended 3 miles (5 km) north-west in the village of Godstow. During the trip, Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He began writing the manuscript of the story the next day, although that earliest version no longer exists. The girls and Dodgson took another boat trip a month later when he elaborated the plot to the story of Alice, and in November he began working on the manuscript in earnest.To add the finishing touches, he researched natural history for the animals presented in the book, and then had the book examined by other children-particularly the children of George MacDonald. He added his own illustrations but approached John Tenniel to illustrate the book for publication, telling him that the story had been well liked by children.

All I can say about this is that it was an odd book. I have never read the original, but I have watched the animated Disney movie many times. This was definitely the weirdest book I have read all year. 4⭐️

(An older copy from 1946)

I started working on my portfolio and listened to audio books in the background. This book had a strange reader. It sounded like he was high on something. It was not pleasant to listen to. The story was ok in my opinion. This is the kind of story that greatly benefits from colorful pictures or visualisations and ofcourse audio book didn't have those.

#julycoldplay @Eggs #clocks Of course I thought of Alice in Wonderland for this one. There‘s so much beautiful art out there to celebrate this zany book - credit goes to the artists.

Eggs Beautiful! 5y

It was a okay book but I expected to much. If that wasn't the case I might have loved it more... Still I felt the same as Alice on some points which was good. But to warn you: don't expect too much and just enjoy the story.
