What it’s about
Alice shrinks, grows, attends a mad tea party, plays croquet with flamingos and faces a queen who wants everyone beheaded.
It is full of wordplay and nonsense poems, and it is short enough to finish in a few evenings.
- Growing up
- Logic and nonsense
- Curiosity
“Curiouser and curiouser!”
Why people stop, and how to finish
The puns and Victorian jokes can feel odd out of context, especially for readers whose first language isn't English.
What helps: Don't try to make it logical. Read it aloud, or listen: the nonsense is in the sound.
At 20 minutes a day you’ll reach the last page in about 6 days.
