First Sentence
Alice1 was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?" Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely twist to a great book, 1 April 2003
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alice: wealth of academic wit revealed., 29 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Annotated Alice. Alice's Adventures In Wonderland And Through The Looking-Glass (Paperback)
This is Martin Gardner's classic edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking-Glass, annotated to explain, for the modern reader, the wealth of hidden references in the books: mathematics, chess, logic, Victorian politics, the original poems Carroll parodied, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 28 Dec 2001
By R. Tait (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is good stuff. The notes (printed alongside the main text) make Lewis Carroll's weirdy stories a whole lot more approachable for curious grown-up modern readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't be too definitive
Not knowing what you do not know it tells you everything. This book appears to be stand alone logic and fun on the surface. Some may even think it is a children's book. Read more

Not only the Lewis Carroll work (with original Tenniel illustrations), but also an entertaining and erudite set of background notes to add to the enjoyment. Read more
