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.
