The Annotated Alice
3.5 Stars
A wonderfully whimsy tale that reveals insightful social satire and criticism of the time.
This particular edition is intended for students and scholars. In this respect, it is long on the annotation but short on the analysis. As a scholarly work it is missing some deeper insights.
A different edition might be preferable for those interested in the story alone.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is a classic story known to everyone through books, cartoons, and movies. I loved Disney's 1951 animation and I loved the hardcover story book with Alice in Wonderland that my parents read to me as a child. Reading the original as an adult was horribly uncomfortable and reminded me of a dream and yes, I know that's what its supposed to be. It was a struggle to read as an adult but it is a classic.
