Wonderland: Alice in Poetry

How wonderful to revisit the world of Lewis Carroll through such a collection of nonsensical eyes. Each poet brings their own perspective to bear and each poem is a triumph.

Marvellous wonderland madness. Revisits many Alice adventures and relives the tale of Alice in a wonderous way.

Lovely little book. My daughter loves Alice and this is greattach to add to her collection.

A super book

An excellent book, especially if you are a fan of Alice. The Alice in Wonderland books made a huge impact on me as a child. I loved them, and Lewis Carroll's fantastic and quirky poems. It wasn't until I was much older that I realised that Carroll's verses were often parodies of poems of the day. How apt, then, that Michaela Morgan has taken Carroll's poems and found a whole host of contemporary poets to add their versions, alongside the originals. And very good they are too. From Joseph Coelho's You've Got So Big and Horrible to Roger McGough's Six Impossible Things to Do Before Breakfast. Brilliant! It's a pity that the book hasn't been given a more classy look, making it a book to keep and treasure, rather than a cheap-looking paperback. Nevertheless - definitely worth buying. And savouring.

Ein süßes Buch voll mit Gedichten über das Wunderland. Die Schriftgröße ist angenehm und das Buch hat viele Illustrationen, außerdem ist das Cover schön veredelt.
