Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass

by Lewis Carroll, Eva Mason Narrated by Rebecca K. Reynolds

Overview

Following Sterling's spectacularly successful launch of its children's classic novels (240,000 books in print to date),comes a dazzling new series:*Classic Starts. The stories are unabridged and have been rewritten for younger audiences. Classic Starts*treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve.

Nothing's more magical than going down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass with Alice. There, in worlds unlike any other ever created, conventional logic is turned upside down and wrong-way round to enchanting effect. Children will love reading Carroll's many humorous nonsense verses and meeting such unforgettable characters as the Mad Hatter, the Knave of Hearts who steals some tarts, and the grinning Cheshire Cat (in*Alice in Wonderland) and Tweedledee, Tweedledum, Humpty Dumpty, and the Jabberwock (in*Through the Looking Glass).

Editorial Reviews

MAY 2020 - AudioFile

Rebecca K. Reynolds’s vibrant narration makes this rendering of Lewis Carroll’s classic for young listeners a comic literary delight. Although these tales have previously been retold in a variety of art forms, and in many variations, Reynolds finds ways of making each marvelous adventure that Alice experiences seem fresh. The nonsensical wordplay that Carroll took great pleasure in writing seems to captivate Reynolds herself in the telling. Her artful portrayal enhances the many fanciful events and ingenious encounters with the While Rabbit, Cheshire Cat and, of course, the Mad Tea Party. This zestful and humorous depiction will delight listeners of all ages and bring new listeners to Carroll’s timeless works. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
