Reader Reviews:
One of the best (0/0 people found this helpful)
I am surprised this audio book hasn't received more 5 star reviews. Alan Bennett is amazing in this abridged version of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (yes, it's a pity it isn't unabridged because he is so good). I bought it for my 5 and 7 year old boys and they love it and it's one my favorites. It's introduced an entirely new vocabulary to them and an interest in word play. We listen to a lot of audio tapes and Alan Bennett's are always among the best.
Excellent for what it is (2/3 people found this helpful)
While I agree that an unabridged version of this book would be better, this is sold as an abridged version and as such it is hardly fair to give it one star for not being what it never claimed to be.
Alan Bennett is a excellent reader and brings all the characters to life most wonderfully. I bought this and Wind in the Willows (also read by Alan Bennett) for my 3 year old son, and I think I enjoy them more than he does. A joy to listen to.
Don't buy it (1/5 people found this helpful)
I bought this audio book hoping to learn the proper pronounciation of the difficult words like 'galumping'...
This however is an abridged version of 'Alice' and 'Through the Looking Glass' omitting all the good stuff
The narrator has a pleasant and distinct voice, but what is the use if he doesn't read the full text?
