The Myth: Alice was an ordinary girl who stepped through the looking glass and entered a fairy-tale world invented by Lewis Carroll in his famous storybook. It’s not outstanding but I spent a few very enjoyable hours with this book.įirst sentence: Everyone thought she had made it up, and she had tolerated more taunting and teasing from other children, more lectures and punishments from grown-ups, than any eleven-year-old should have to bear. And then this little alternate Alice in Wonderland comes along and actually makes it worth my while.

This was going to be my last try at fairy tale retellings for this month. ![]()
