Review
The sequel to Alice in Wonderland is a comedy of misinterpretation and playing on the idiosyncracies of the English language. There is a great playfulness with language that I like, though I feel this one has less of a story and feels a lot more dreamlike than the first. Definitely aimed at young readers, but I never had the sense of the story talking down. Recommended.
