I must confess that I have never read anything from Alice in Wonderland, the only knowledge I had of this fairy tale is what is shown by Disney (and even then it took quite a while before I even watched the movie).

Nevertheless, it was very interesting to read such an early manuscript of 'Alice in Wonderland'. Especially the personal touch by Lewis Carroll, shown through his drawings, handwriting and foreword. It made it more clear what kind of person the author was and his motivations and thoughts behind this story.
I find it quite amazing how his imagination worked and how he concocted these peculiar events. It was overall a very nice, enjoyable read!
