Beginning this challenge I told myself that any books I've read before don't count, but to be honest I can't remember if I have read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland before or not. If I have it would have been as part of a summer reading list for school over 10 years ago, so I'm going to say that this is my first time reading it. Okay, that feels like cheating, especially since it's such a short book. For this entry then, I'll read Through The Looking Glass too.
Regardless of what I have read, this is my first time reading of Alice's adventures as an adult. I remember Carroll's magic with words capturing me at school when we studied the Jabberwocky. I still remember it today, the only poem my brain has ever been able to retain. Carroll has such a vivid imagination and a way with words that I was really looking forward to immersing myself in his wonderful (see what I did there?) world again.
Despite their many interpretations and portrayals, the novels of Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass will always be the original and the best as you can fully immerse yourself in Carroll's bizarre and beautiful world.
