About this listen

Gemma Arterton reads Lewis Carroll's all-time classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

One sleepy summer's day, Alice sees a white rabbit disappear down a rabbit hole. But this is not an ordinary rabbit, this one wears a waistcoat, has a pocket watch and is talking to himself, so Alice follows him! When she stops falling down the rabbit hole she finds herself in a curious hall full of locked doors and one small key, and now her adventures begin.

Alice meets characters like the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat in a story that has delighted and entranced readers for more than a hundred years. This is part of AudioGO's 'Famous Fiction' range.

There's a reason this book is a classic. The story is something only a child, or a drug-addled adult, would come up with 😄

Arterton's performance is reasonable: clear diction, easy to listen to. Where she is useless is character voices - almost all of the characters sound the same. And that's a problem when she has to 'sing' the Lobster Quadrille, with it's back-and-forth between characters, as it's just her narrating it all in her normal voice.
That aside, the story is engaging and she does an acceptable job.

I would listen to it again. But only because I love the Disney Animated version of Alice and so can imagine the 'distinctive' voices for the characters used there.

Lovely story, well read
