Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Über dieses Hörbuch
One of America’s best-known stories in all of literature began with the imagination-stretching tale of probably the most famous little girl in English literature. Alice was a character surrounded by exotic caricatures with “nonsense” seeming to be a reasonable description. But, even the story’s fictional Queen of Hearts said, “Every joke should have a meaning.” In an oblique manner, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland provided just that, prompting one comment, “These are not stories for children, but are the only books in which all of us become children.” That is sufficient to invite you to follow us and “Alice” down the infamous “rabbit hole.”
