Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

By: Lewis Carroll

Narrated by: Shelby Lewis

When Alice tumbles down, down, down a rabbit-hole one hot summer's afternoon in pursuit of a White Rabbit, she finds herself in Wonderland. And there begins the fantastical adventures that will see her experiencing extraordinary changes in size, swimming in a pool of her own tears, and attending the very maddest of tea parties. For Wonderland is no ordinary place and the characters that populate it are quite unlike anybody young Alice has ever met before.

In this imaginary land she encounters the savagely violent Queen, the Lachrymose Mock Turtle, the laconic Cheshire Cat and the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, each as surprising and outlandish as the next. Alice's adventures have made her the stuff of legend, the child heroine par excellence, and ensured that Carroll's book is the best loved and most widely read in children's literature.

Fun listen

This is one of my favorite books. I didn't care for the reader. Still enjoyable.

Performance makes Alice sound like Dorothy.

Too much whimsy in every sentence Alice speaks, as if each statement is a question.

Great Nonsense Stories

Watching Disney’s Alice in Wonderland is one of my comfort movies, with the Cheshire Cat as my favorite character. These two stories the movie is based off of give me almost the same enjoyment.
I tend to listen to this at bedtime for my own bedtime stories.

I couldn't finish w/ the narrator

She might be ok with something else, but made Alice sound extra whiny and annoying. A British narrator would also be nice. I tried but couldn't finish.

Best!!

As an English learner, this is one of the best audiobooks that I’ve ever listened to.
I don’t understand why some other people are complaining about this audiobook, particularly being narrated by an American when they must’ve tried the sample.
