It was wonderful to be able to read a copy of Carroll's original manuscript, and in his own handwriting, with his own illustrations no less. While a wonderful book, and one I'll forever treasure, it has left me rather confused, and I think even as a child it would have left me unsatisfied with the amount of questions asked and unanswered.

I suppose now I've read the original, I no longer have an excuse to keep putting off reading the 'published' version.
