About the Author
Lewis Carroll (1832–1898) was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English mathematician, professor, photographer, and artist. He first concocted Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland as “Alice’s Adventures Underground,” a story to entertain his boss’s young daughter Alice Liddell and her sisters. The girls demanded more and more of the tale, so he expanded it and eventually wrote it down. He self-published the book, featuring illustrations by prominent British political cartoonist John Tenniel, in 1865. It was an instant success, as was its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass.

So read on, Alice fans, and relive the joy you had so many years ago when you read "Alice".
Through the Looking Glass is more logical than Wonderland, Alice is moving across the land square by square like a chess board, and meeting characters in each square. It still seems like a dream but it's less... trippy. I also like Alice herself more in the second book, she's less argumentative and confused. Some of her fancies are so sweet, like when Alice describes the snow loving the trees and fields and kissing them gently.
I think Wonderland has the better characters, with the Chesire Cat, Mad Hatter, and the white rabbit, while Looking Glass has the better poetry with Walrus and the Carpenter and The Jabberwocky. It's billed as a children's story but the puns tickled my funny bone and I enjoyed it much more hearing it as an adult.
I listened to the audible version by Jack Nolan, and he did a great job as narrator, he gave each character a separate speaking voice but they weren't overdone. They fit in really well and didn't distract from the story. I really liked the cool editing feature during the first attempt at The Jabberwocky!
Like before, there were magical creatures in the story —talking animals and objects, kings and queens, a knight, an egg, etc. Although different from each other, their commonality is that most don't make any sense at all.
So, what I gather from the adventures of Alice this time around is that there is a lot of nonsense in the world and also, I have pick your battles. While on the flipside, maybe I know a lot of things already in life but I should never stop learning and listen to other people's perspectives. Perhaps, I just have to know better which to ignore and what value to take.
I said the above because the story is crazy and at times don't make sense at all. Maybe, that's the lesson to be learned.
