Book Description

Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 3 and up | Series: Classic Literature with Classical Music

Alice's adventures, funny, inventive and disturbing, have fascinated children and adults alike since their publication. This is a new unabridged recording, using many voices to take the parts of The White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat - and, of course, Alice herself. It makes for a roller-coaster ride of delightful fantasy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'A new multi-voiced unabridged Alice in Wonderland is the best I have come across.' -- Christina Hardyment "The Times"

From AudioFile

The time-honored puns, delightful logic, and surreal scenes in ALICE weave in and out of contemporary animations, commercials, rock videos and, most recently, computer games. To narrate the work is to take on the daunting task of performing a well-known classic. Narrator David Horovitch and a host of London-based voice talents read their parts with almost too much reverence. They know it is a classic and deliver it as such, making these fine performances sound slightly rote. The Queen sounds angry. The caterpillar--sleepy. Alice--very Victorian. It all has the nineteenth-century feel of adults presenting children's literature to children. Somewhere out there Lewis Carroll may be responding with a Cheshire smile.

This is a wonderful reading of Alice in Wonderland with quite appropriate music and acting. It is unabridged. (great!) It is mesmerizing to my Middle School students as they read along.
