A lovely twist to a great book,

This review is from: The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass: The definite Edition. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland an Through the Looking-Glass (Paperback)
Everyone thinks they know about Alice in Wonderland - my own 'knowledge' comes from years of obsessive viewing of the superlative Disney feature as a child - but this terrific little book will prove you wrong. There are enough notes in here to keep even the most apathetic reader pacified; and the book is designed in such a way that the notes aid the reader, rather than becoming a constant pain. Presented alongside the text (reproduced with original Tenniel drawings of the characters) the notes are immediate and gripping, and whether you are studying this book or merely reading it for pleasure, i can thoroughly reccommend this edition. Well worth your money and your time.

This text is extremely useful. I bought it to aid my teaching of A Level Language and Literature spec B, ELLB2. Whilst the annotations are not strictly relevant to the course objectives they will certainly help to broaden students understanding of Carroll, his influences, his intended audience and the social context of the time.

Reveals that the Alice stories are not just meandering surreal tales...,
By Mister Vanadium "Van the Man" (Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass: The definite Edition. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland an Through the Looking-Glass (Paperback)
The only problem with this book is that the footnotes (which are placed in the margins of the book) are in very small print, which makes them hard to read. Everything else about the book is great - Carroll's Alice stories are as entertaining and readable now as they must have been over a hundred years ago. The notes help to reveal the complexity and subtlety underlying what on the surface appears to simply be a surreal meandering tale. I very much enjoyed revisiting a story that I appreciated as a child, to discover that it was extremely clever and well-constructed.
