Join Alice on her whimsical journey down the rabbit hole! For the first time ever, Lewis Carroll's beloved masterpiece is faithfully adapted and illustrated in its entirety, including the long-lost chapter, "The Wasp in a Wig!" From her initial meeting with the White Rabbit in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, to her final dinner party with the entire (and outrageous) Through the Looking Glass cast, every moment of Alice's adventures in that astonishing landscape is captured in gorgeous detail. With old favorites like the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter joined now by a long-forgotten Carroll creation, The Wasp, in one of the book's latter chapters, children and adults alike can rediscover the complete Alice tale and fall in love with Wonderland all over again!

For a book like this, words can't really do justice to how it looks and how it feels to handle - so I've tried to give the video equivalent of picking it up in a shop and having a quick 'flick through'.
I hate it when I buy a graphic novel, then find I don't like the style of the artwork, so I hope this will give you some idea whether this book is for you or not. Personally I like the artwork a lot. I would describe it as mid-way between manga and a more Western style... or maybe tending more towards the Western. Anyway, I like it!
The book is a nice hardback, and tells the whole of Carroll's Wonderland and Looking-glass stories. The paper is high quality and glossy.
After the story, there's a short section of text extras:
THE POETRY OF WONDERLAND - 4 poems: All in the Golden Afternoon; She's all my Fancy Painted Him; A Child of pure unclouded brow; and A Boat beneath a Sunny Sky.
WITHER AND WHY THIS WIG-WEARING WASP? - a short discussion on why & how they decided to include this 'lost' chapter.
THE WASP IN THE WIG - the 'lost' chapter as written by Carroll.
CREATING WONDERLAND - a discussion on adapting the text to graphic format
THE WORKINGS OF WONDERLAND - an interview with the people behind this version.
All in all, very nicely done and a MUST for any devoted collector of Wonderland stuff!

Absolutely WONDERful.

I must say, when I first saw this I knew that it would be a prized addition to my Alice collection. The writers did a very good job abridging the text to the most vital points. The artwork is absolutely stunning! Even though it's in a manga-style, this does not limit the artist as she does some very diverse character designs and puts great attention to detail. I especially love her design of the March Hare's home. The coloring is very reminiscent of Arthur Rackham's work. The addition of "The Wasp in a Wig" just makes this even more spectacular. A must-have for any true Alice fan.

SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS

The art is beautiful, and dark, and it has a manga-like feel to it. Great for fans of manga, and Alice in Wonderland. It was such a treat to read the extra chapter! Amazing!
Though, since I have an obsession with Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I must admit that I know the dialouge pretty well. And I am sad to say that although this book is SO close to the original text, it still leaves out some of my favorite lines and whatnot, which is unfortunate. But if you're not familiar with the original, it won't be much of a problem, and you can't fit everything in anyways.
Overall, I love this book with a passion. I read it all the time. I'm very happy with it!
