Book Description
This edition contains Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass. It is illustrated throughout by Sir John Tenniel, whose drawings for the books add so much to the enjoyment of them.Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White Rabbit all make their appearances, and are now familiar figures in writing, conversation and idiom. So too, are Carroll's delightful verses such as The Walrus and the Carpenter and the inspired jargon of that masterly Wordsworthian parody, The Jabberwocky.

I hadn't read this in the LONGEST time. I'd forgotten how wonderful it really is.
I think I enjoyed Through the Looking Glass a bit more than Alice's Adventures because it has had less thorough media attention than Alice's Adventures has so there were more parts of it that were new to me.
Some stories one knows, but has never read. This was one such tale. Some time during college I took to reading this on my own. A wonderful tale of fantasy. That Carroll made these stories up on the spot to entertain his daughter/niece? is just amazing.
A fun read for everyone.
