When i read this last time i never wrote a review for it: possibly because i’d only just written a review for Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and didn’t really see the need to say much the same for this book.
So what brings me to reading this book again and writing a review now, you may ask. Well, it’s because i just finished reading Heartless by Marissa Meyer and i so wanted to see how well it would flow into Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland if it was read as a prequel.
Now i’m certainly not saying that this book needs a prequel, but if it were to have one then Heartless has my full blessings to occupy that honoured place.
Yes, one can argue that Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a plenty wonderful book and stands perfectly alone without any need for a prequel, but, having just read Heartless beforehand as a prequel, i can fully attest that it makes for a much better reading experience if you do.
Here be some more “Alice and Wonderland” books.
The last of the 4 books in the Alice series. Although it’s not actually about Alice because Carroll had stopped chasing after Alice Lidell at this point in time because Alice had grown tall. He had moved onto another young girl, i believe her name was Gertrude. So one wonders what he alludes to with the word, “Snark”.
>As much as these are wonderful stories, if we just take them as stories, the tale behind them is, i think, a rather dark and disturbing one.
I’m having an Alice binge at the moment and decided i needed to go back to the very beginning of the story to see how it came about.
