SuitabookAlice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass
Lewis Carroll
- Reading
- Treat the two named stories as separate journeys, and pause after each to compare which characters and kinds of make-believe your reader enjoyed. The exact contents and endings are not outlined here.
- Themes
- Imagination and nonsense: Alice enters a world described as one where the impossible becomes possible and encounters strange adventures. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Unusual characters: Alice encounters a range of unusual figures, including the Mad Hatter, Cheshire-Cat, and Queen of Hearts. The characters are presented as eccentric, but the brief account does not establish how their actions or qualities are judged.
- Worth knowing
- The adventures are described as strange, and several characters as eccentric. If your reader prefers familiar or realistic situations, you might check how they respond to sustained make-believe and nonsense.
