The original story written for Alice.
This is a fun, quick read on Alice's original adventures with a bit of history to the masterpiece that has come to be. I enjoyed reading this one to my littles and learning more about Lewis' first writing. He hadn't intended for this to become a novel for the world, but rather a fun story for Alice.
What we've come to know as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is longer, with more characters and adventures, than this piece. But this story was worth every penny spent to see how far it's developed over time.
