I’m so glad I got to re-read this funny, delightful and whimsical childhood favourite again! It was exactly what I needed as a pick me up book to survive the illness during holiday month ☺️
Although I had remembered a gist of the story, I was pleasantly surprised that my brain had forgotten most of the characters and the dialogues between them, which almost made this re-read experience like reading it for the first time! There were some hilarious dialogues between Alice and the creatures she meets in Wonderland and a very important moral about a child’s curiosity and imagination! The Duchess might agree with me on that moral ;)
Lewis Carroll made the book funnier with his take on wordplay, completely using the confusing nature of English words and pronunciations! The illustrations in this book were strange and a little scary too.. I wonder if all the editions had similar illustrations or if the Chris Ridell version would have more interesting ones?
I’ll read Through the Looking Glass next year if I get my hands on a copy .. happy holidays everyone!! As Mad Hatter says, it could always be time for tea!

It's incredible that after reading this book, and despite that, people still don't know UNIAT.
