Lewis Carroll's anarchic, disturbing, and boisterously funny Alice stories, conjured up one afternoon to entertain a young girl, are a unique blend of wordplay, logic, parody, puzzles, and riddles.

Their dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig, time is abandoned at an unruly tea-party and a chaotic game of chess makes a seven-year-old girl a Queen. But, amongst the eccentric humour and witty conundrums, are poignant moments of nostalgia for a lost childhood.  

I read this book when I was a child and loved it then. I think its one of the most bizzar childrens book ever, but its great for those with a good imagination. You just want to follow Alice down the rabbit hole into all the adventures she comes to. It's a fun book.

I can't quite remember if I've ever read 'Through the Looking Glass' before or not, so this was an added bonus in this collection. Both stories are equally great.

I also have to note that I'm in love with the cover. This is one of the first 'Pegnuins English Library' Colleciton that I've brought - i'm after them all. They're stunning.
