The Wonderland Collection (Seasons Edition -- Summer)

I love Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I read it as a teen and have loved it ever since, and was happy to get to listen to the story. Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC of this title! I loved the narrator, it set a great tone for the story. Each time reading (or listening) to this book is like a new experience, and I take something different from the story every time. The story is deeply but gently satiric, enlivened with an imaginative plot and brilliant use of nonsense. As Alice explores a bizarre underground world, she encounters a cast of strange characters and fanciful beasts: the White Rabbit, March Hare, and Mad Hatter; the sleepy Dormouse and grinning Cheshire Cat; the Mock Turtle, the dreadful Queen of Hearts, and a host of other extraordinary personalities. The tale plays with logic, making the story popular with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.
