Editor reviews
Alice's trip down the rabbit hole, and her run-ins with the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts, persists as an enduring classic of literature. Lewis Carroll's novel has long been a pillar of pop culture, inspiring the 1951 Disney hit and influencing the works of figures as diverse as Salvador Dali, Jefferson Airplane, and Tim Burton. Carroll's whimsy is perfectly matched by the award-winning actress Miriam Margoyles (The Age of Innocence, Babe, Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films), who brings her trademark depth of characterization and a wonderful loopiness to make this a boisterously fun experience.
Summary
On an ordinary summer's afternoon, Alice tumbles down a hole - and an extraordinary adventure begins. In a strange world with even stranger characters, she meets a rabbit with a pocket watch, joins a Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and plays croquet with the Queen! Lost in this fantasy land, Alice finds herself growing more and more curious by the minute.

What? No Geordie?
A joy from start to finish. La Margolyes is the perfect narrator to reacquaint one with this brilliant book. She's quite the mistress of accents and I take it personally that no character was represented by a Geordie. Brilliant, highly recommend.

An enjoyable book
Although Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is fundamentally a children’s story, I enjoyed listening to it and will no doubt listen to it again in the future. I recommend this book for any young at heart adults who are looking for a funny lighthearted story, and escapism from the norm.

Brilliant - Surreal
A long time ago someone suggested to me that I should read this book as an adult. I have at last listened to it and found the book brilliant, surreal! The reading by Miriam Margolyes with all the different voices she used was excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed it as a child or to anyone who feels they may have missed out on this classic of literature!

I love love love this story most precious Alice my name is Alice so have always felt close to it. The reader was extremely good BUT I did find the voice of the Cheshire Cat very annoying

A classic
Would you try another book written by Lewis Carroll or narrated by Miriam Margoyles?
I might try Through the Looking Glass, as people have said to me that you don't need to enjoy Alice's Adventures to enjoy Looking Glass. I'm not sure about the narrator, she didn't quite hit the spot for me, and I was therefore never fully engaged in the story.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
If I'm honest, I only vaguely remember it, and at that point, I was sort of glad to be done with the book.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
It is a film, and I love the film. The book is not very much like that, and it felt like it dragged quite a bit, despite being so short.
Any additional comments?
It's not like I don't like classics or a slower pace - quite the contrary. But this felt pointless and uninteresting, and the writing was definitely not top shelf.

Miriam Margolyes’ narration is brilliant throughout, but the song of the Mock Turtle was an absolute joy! Thank you.
