The Wonderland Collection。Lewis Carroll。To cudowne wydanie Alicji od razu przyciągnęło mnie jak magnes i muszę podziękować Anicie @bookreviewsbyanita za pokazanie mi tej wyjątkowej， przepięknej wersji。 Jestem totalnie zauroczona i cieszę się ogromnie że upiększa moją biblioteczkę。Opowieść o Alicji nigdy mi się nie znudzi i z przyjemnością czytam ją po dwa razy w miesiącu ;）

Die ersten beiden Geschichten "Alice hinter den Spiegeln" und "Alice im Wunderland" haben mir gut gefallen und ließen sich sehr flüssig lesen。 Die dritte Geschichte ist eine Sammlung von Knobelaufgaben。 Diese habe ich nur überflogen。 Die ersten beiden Geschichten "Alice hinter den Spiegeln" und "Alice im Wunderland" haben mir gut gefallen und ließen sich sehr flüssig lesen。 Die dritte Geschichte ist eine Sammlung von Knobelaufgaben。 Diese habe ich nur überflogen。 。。。more

I never read Lewis Carroll as a child and truly enjoyed listening to the fantastic tales as narrated by Simon Bubb。 The Summer collection cover is lovely。I received a complimentary advanced reader copy of this book through NetGalley。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。

Absolute nonsense and the best kind。 Great for adults and kids or reading to kids。 I know a lot of people have mentioned this is like being on an acid trip。 But to me， this is the logic I had as a child。 The misunderstandings and weird conversations sparked by an overly complex English language。 Carroll writes the wordplay with so much humor， but also the natural indignation of a young child。 The writing is flawless and the characters interesting and ridiculous。 A great escape into the dream wor Absolute nonsense and the best kind。 Great for adults and kids or reading to kids。 I know a lot of people have mentioned this is like being on an acid trip。 But to me， this is the logic I had as a child。 The misunderstandings and weird conversations sparked by an overly complex English language。 Carroll writes the wordplay with so much humor， but also the natural indignation of a young child。 The writing is flawless and the characters interesting and ridiculous。 A great escape into the dream world of your childhood。I did not find Through the Looking Glass as interesting as Alice in Wonderland。 This one was more a children's book， rather than having the quality of appealing to both children and adults like Alice in Wonderland。 There were less level of language usage and wordplay and a simpler story。 。。。more

I really enjoyed reading it and thought that it was a fun children’s classic book。 I only read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass。 I didn’t read a tangled tale because it didn’t seem appealing to me。

The Wonderland Collection by Lewis Carroll and narrated by Simon Bubb is produced by HarperCollins Christian Audio。 Carroll was an English writer of children’s fiction。 He was noted for his facility at wordplay， logic， and fantasy。 The poems “Jabberwocky” and “The Hunting of the Snark” are classified in the genre of literary nonsense。 Bubb is an audiobook narrator known for his subtlety， nuanced tone， and facility with accents as an integral component of his narration， according to AudioFile mag The Wonderland Collection by Lewis Carroll and narrated by Simon Bubb is produced by HarperCollins Christian Audio。 Carroll was an English writer of children’s fiction。 He was noted for his facility at wordplay， logic， and fantasy。 The poems “Jabberwocky” and “The Hunting of the Snark” are classified in the genre of literary nonsense。 Bubb is an audiobook narrator known for his subtlety， nuanced tone， and facility with accents as an integral component of his narration， according to AudioFile magazine。The Wonderland Series seems to be a nonsensical children’s tale， but so much has stuck with us into adulthood。 We often speak of the “Rabbit Hole。” Jefferson Airplane sang of the pills to make your shorter or taller and of the Hooka Smoking Caterpillar。 We continue to say， “Mad as a Hatter。” But there is more to the story that we think。 It does not end with Alice being sentenced by the Queen of Hearts — “Off with her head。” The sequel “Through the Looking Glass” takes Alice on an adventure to an alternative world on the other side of a mirror。 The last book does not deal with Alice but is a book of “knots” or mathematical problems in story form that were printed as a serial in the Monthly Packet magazine。 Concealing the math in the stories allowed Carroll to “hide medicine in jam” creating an early version of edutainment。A fun journey back to childhood and a time when we took things less seriously。 Bubb’s narration is excellent with just enough British accent to remind the reader of the stories’ origin。 The changes in character voice are subtle but easily recognizable。 An enjoyable journey。 。。。more

This is the audiobook of a collectible edition。 The series features various classic stories。 This volume combines the two most famous Alice books– Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass– as well as A Tangled Tale。 That adds up to 7 hours of audio， so plan accordingly。 The narrator is fine--no complaints， but not particularly memorable。 I hadn't heard these stories since I was small， so it was nostalgic。Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC for the purpose of a This is the audiobook of a collectible edition。 The series features various classic stories。 This volume combines the two most famous Alice books– Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass– as well as A Tangled Tale。 That adds up to 7 hours of audio， so plan accordingly。 The narrator is fine--no complaints， but not particularly memorable。 I hadn't heard these stories since I was small， so it was nostalgic。Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC for the purpose of an unbiased review。 。。。more

I really liked the "Alice In Wonderland" and "Through The Looking Glass" books！ They made me laugh and reminded me to be playful。 The "A Tangled Tale" stories share a mathematics problem in each section。 I like the intellectual stimulation， but I couldn't connect the stories and didn't enjoy this section as much as the first two sections。 I listened to the audiobook， and the narration by Simon Bubb was excellent！ I really liked the "Alice In Wonderland" and "Through The Looking Glass" books！ They made me laugh and reminded me to be playful。 The "A Tangled Tale" stories share a mathematics problem in each section。 I like the intellectual stimulation， but I couldn't connect the stories and didn't enjoy this section as much as the first two sections。 I listened to the audiobook， and the narration by Simon Bubb was excellent！ 。。。more

This audio book includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland， Through the Looking Glass and， the less well-known， A Tangled Tale。 This title can be enjoyed by both adults and children， perhaps on a long car trip when looking for something good to occupy one's time。 The imaginative stories will appeal to kids while， as I learned in a class a few years ago， there are many social issues to be seen in the book for adults。 The narration is soothing， in a good way。 This is another in a series of cla This audio book includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland， Through the Looking Glass and， the less well-known， A Tangled Tale。 This title can be enjoyed by both adults and children， perhaps on a long car trip when looking for something good to occupy one's time。 The imaginative stories will appeal to kids while， as I learned in a class a few years ago， there are many social issues to be seen in the book for adults。 The narration is soothing， in a good way。 This is another in a series of classics that has been released by the publisher。 I have also listened to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Persuasion。Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more
