All Things Alice in Wonderland

i didn't love this book not by any means but i did find it really enjoyable

i worried that i had missed the boat by not reading this as a kid but surprisingly i really enjoyed these books i think my favorite things about them were all the interesting plays on words

i did read his russian folk tale inspired book egg and spoon which was pretty good

the annotated alice gives a lot of good historical information about this time period about charles dodson and about the inspiration behind alice's adventures in wonderland how it came to be

i ended up having to return that before i finished little women unfortunately i remember loving that edition of little women i was so sad when i had to return it to the library

there were so many different moments where something was so clever that i had to stop reading and just smile and shake my head in the same way that i did when i was reading alice's adventures in wonderland and through the looking glass
