Alice's Adventures In Wonderland


Alice's Adventures In Wonderland is my favourite book. In all honesty I haven't read many books, however due to my love for imagination, creativity I found this book to be a representation of my mind. The Disney movie was the inspiration that led me to read the book. I found the madness with in the book to be a constant flow with the characters like the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts. The arguments that Lewis Carroll was drunk when he wrote this book, can be true in my opinion. The huge creativity and random rambling with the book is what gives it the charm which has given it the title of my favourite book. The book is inspirational in my own creativity and also stylizing of pieces. A final reason for the love of the book is the illustrations within the different versions of the book. Each artist has their own interpretations of the story, my personal favorite illustrations were those by my favorite artist, Salvador Dali. Being a surrealist painter he was the best person to combat the book and in my opinion perfectly captured the scenic craziness within the book. His illustrations indulge colour into the book which merges with the imagery within my mind. The book usually comes in a collection of the whole works of Carroll, the two Wonderland books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass along with a variety of other publications and poems. Each are as mad and imaginative and wonderfully brilliant as one another.
This book is a major representation of my personality and my favorite style of work, if you haven't read this book yet, definitely go to your local library or book store and buy it. Honestly, the films do not do Lewis Carroll's wonderfully mad literature justice.
