Alice is Simply Enchanting



I'm incredibly excited to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, but when I recently watched the trailer for the movie I realized I don't know the real story. I've become very familiar and infatuated with the amazing illustrations by John Tenniel in the last few years - So much that I ordered a beautiful copy of the book quite some time ago. But I'm ashamed to say that even after owning it, I've never actually read the book. So a couple of days ago I decided it was time.
I've only read the first 4 or 5 chapters, but you know what? It's so witty and funny! The writing is fast and quirky and I'm finding myself unable to put it down when I need to go to sleep.
I love Alice's character very very much. Her need to be a strong and educated girl just warms my heart.
I really recommend reading it. Whether you're planning to see the movie or not, I think you'll just love it.
