ForeignCircus: great fictional look at the life of Alice Liddell who helped inspire Alice in Wonderland. Definitely an adult read as it deals with the semi-disturbing relationship between Alice Liddell and Charles Dodgson.
Anonymer Nutzer: Strong link to the Alice books. From the Amazon description: When absent-minded Professor Random misplaces the main character from Alice in Wonderland, young Henry Witherspoon must book-jump to fetch Alice before chaos theory kicks in and the world vanishes. Along the way he meets Winnie Flapjack, a wit-cracking doodle witch with nothing to her name but a magic feather and a plan. Such as it is. Henry and Winnie brave the Dark Queen, whatwolves, pirates, Struths, and fluttersmoths, Priscilla and Charybdis, obnoxiously cheerful vampires, Baron Samedi, a nine-dimensional cat, and one perpetually inebriated Muse to rescue Alice and save the world by tea time.… (mehr)
madmarch: This manga is based on and contains a multitude of references to the Alice books- a lot of them only extreme fans will get. Not suitable for pre-adolescents.
Kolbkarlsson: Östergrens stories have a strong Wonderland influence, both in it's strange logic and surreal tone. Both are contained universes, explored by girls or girl figures, sharing the same trappings.
elbakerone: Beddor takes an alternative look at Alice's story. Fans of the original may appreciate the new telling and fans of Beddor's reworking will likely enjoy Carroll's classic.
I just reread Alice for the first time in about four years and Through the Looking Glass for the first time in probably 15 years. I've never really loved either one of these but Looking Glass is still a struggle for me to get through. I like the idea of all this...but the actual story bores me to tears! ha! ( )
I read it because portions of the book are used as examples in a bunch of philosophical things (eg Humpty-Dumpty's idea that when he uses a word, it means exactly what he chooses it to mean). Obviously it's a children's book, but it's interesting and the dream-like landscape is genuinely scary - a queen constantly calling for executions is a scary thought no matter what the outcome - and creative. Each set piece has is its own fascinating idea and some are laugh out loud funny. ( )
Let me sing you a song. Most people cry when they hear it:
This book didn't speak to me like other classics have, but then again, no book has actually ever spoken to me for they have no mouths nor tongues.
I'm happy to have read it I didn't ever dread it But most of the time I thought "What is this really about?"
Finishing this book was no impossible thing even if it wasn't my favorite. It made me realize one thing So I shouldn't feel sad Because now I know that I'm probably just mad. ( )
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"
Zitate
"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter; and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like; they're both mad."
"I only wish I had such eyes," the King remarked in a fretful tone. "To be able to see Nobody! And at this distance too! Why, it's as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!"
Off with his head!
I'm very brave, generally . . . only today I happen to have a headache.
"One can’t believe impossible things."
"I dare say you haven’t had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop.
'What is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures?'

Lastly, she pictured herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.
