Has anybody here read these two books? What did you think of them?
From my own personal experience, naturally they're a bit hard to understand when nothing makes sense, but they were fun and the way I see it, since Alice WAS the first children's book that could just be fun and not educational or moral, that had to have given Lewis Carroll a lot of room to work with as he had no competition. He could make it as crazy as he wanted and there wasn't anybody that could top him in it.
I was surprised however when I read Through the Looking Glass because I had always assumed that through the looking glass was another entrance back into Wonderland, I hadn't noticed before reading them that they were two entirely different worlds with different characters. But I liked both of them, and I wonder if Carroll had ever planned to do another story involving Alice.
What's everybody else's take?
