First, the review that states this book is misprinted is incorrect. This version of The Nursery Alice - by English Rose Publishing - does not have the misprinted quotation marks. The Mediamorphosis version of this book, however, DOES have the misprinted quotation marks and should be avoided.

That said, this (the English Rose Publishing) version of The Nursery Alice is fantastic. The Nursery Alice condenses some of the major elements of Alice in Wonderland into small two to three page "Chapters" with beautifully colored illustrations by John Tenniel.

While this version of Alice doesn't contain any of Lewis Carroll's wonderful poems it's a good introduction to Alice for children 0-5.

Length:: 2:50 Mins

We took some time to flip through The Nursery Alice by Lewis Carroll and John Tenniel, a book from the "Vintage books ~ restored" collection. On the soundtrack we've added the famous Minuetto from the String Quintet in E, Op. 11, No. 5 by Luigi Boccherini.

We hope you'll enjoy the clip (and the book, and the music) just as much as we did when filming it (and reading it, and listening to this sweet music).

The book is nicely made; the story's all there...but every set of quotation marks is misprinted. It's maddening. At the beginning of every character's speech, the quotation marks appear BELOW the word, instead of at the top left. ,,Like this!" I bought the book for young readers, so I'm returning it. ,,Right now!"

I didn't pick up on it, but you can actually see the misprinted quotation marks right on the front cover: ,,Alice"
