I also found this book in the Wonderland Bookshop in Retford. I didn't know this one existed either so I had to get it! Hopefully, this will be better than the picture book.

Turns out this was better than the picture book that I read previously.

I found it interesting to see Dodgeson's writing and Tenniel's illustrations together. The story was strange, nonsensical and funny. I'm not sure about Alice herself in this original manuscript. She offends a lot of animals and creatures she meets on her journey through the rabbit hole and isn't really making any friends. On another note, I found it interesting that the Cheshire Cat doesn't make an appearance but a dog!
