An 'excellent independent venture' (The Times) this mp3 CD contains the unabridged text of Alice s Adventures narrated by a lively cast of actors who bring out its humour and pathos. Alice is 'a delightful combination of youthful abandon and forthright intelligence...a fresh and winning performance that rewards continued listening' (Lewis Carroll Society of North America). With original music for the Mock Turtle's songs and additional amusement from recitations of Jabberwocky and other nonsense pieces by Lewis Carroll. Great entertainment for listeners of all ages. Just follow the White Rabbit...

I have to begin by stating that I am not a child.
(According to my relatives, I was a child once, about forty or fifty years ago - but I have no memory of this and do not fully believe it.)
However, in spite of my lack of credentials as a card-carrying 'child', I love the wonderland story, along with all Carroll's other stuff. This CD is wonderful. Even if YOUR childhood is further away than Alice's feet after she took a bite from the caterpillar's mushroom, you still might enjoy this CD very much.
On it you will find the complete Alice in Wonderland, a (rather brief) selection of Carroll's verse, and several of his letters.
For me, the only thing that stops this CD from being perfect is that it doesn't include what most right-minded scholars, philosophers, and Good Sorts must surely regard as the finest,funniest, most moving and most profound poem in the English language (I refer, of course, to The Hunting of the Snark.)
Even so, this still deserves its five stars. Since the number '1' appears twice on the description above, maybe we can yet hope that there will be a '2' before 2 long, and that it will include the Snark.
Highly recommended for the child, the childlike, the just plain childish, and all lovers of Mr Carroll's works.

My children love this story and it is a pleasure to hear it read so well. A great one for the iPod in the car on a long journey.

We all hear that today's children don't read. However, this modern MP3 story book version of Alice in Wonderland will certainly grab their interest. Hopefully, when they have listened to it, they will be encouraged to read the book as well.
The quality of the recording is excellent and I found it very convenient to listen to on my computer. It is also very easy to download onto your ipod. There is a large cast of voices which really brings the story to life.

I remember reading Alice in my early years and suddenly found this CD. I felt the urge to revisit Alice and was not disappointed. A wonderful production. Well done.
