YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
"MORE ALICE" is a continuation of the original Alice adventures written unashamedly in the style of Lewis Carroll and illustrated with John Tenniel's Alice in mind.
Yates Wilson picks up whereLewis Carroll left off to satisfy his own daughter's desire for "m...oreAlice."
In recovering from an illness, Alice, the heroine, penetrates thewallpaper wood of her bedroom and encounters a bevy of creatures including atortoise and a dormouse. She makes her way to the King's castle and, onceinside, comes to know the courtiers and to engage in the affairs of KingEthelred. Until she makes her way out of the wood, she is immersed in as manywild adventures as her predecessor. Although the story is set in the 19thcentury, its satire follows current issues -- dictators, iron curtains, evenbrain washing. If, like this author's daughter, the reader cannot get enough ofAlice, this will offer a fulfilling dessert. From a literary standpoint, itdeliberately parallels the original in both style and content and exhibitslittle to incur special merit on its own.
The work was begun following a request from the author's daughter who, when ill and having listened to the two famous Alice stories, asked for more Alice.
In this story, Alice, who has not quite recovered from an illness, becomes rather light-headed and in a half-dream makes a fantastic tour of her own bedroom.
Although the scene is cast in the period of the original Alice stories (1862), a few comments on modern life are introduced and there is come intentional satire on certain aspects of the modern world. King Ethelred is any dictator, his castle is the iron curtain, and the "school of unlearning" is a gentle satire on the practice of "brain-washing."
Of More Alice it has been said "It is genuine Alice. It has the same line of convoluted thought and curiously satisfactory lunacy...it is delightful, and the illustrations are enchanting."
Purists may be indignant that such accepted classics as the two Alice adventures should now be added to by an alien hand, but we feel sure that true lovers of Alice who approach this story without prejudice, cannot fail to be captivated by its extraordinary echo of the work of the master of pure nonsense-Lewis Carroll.
Published in 1959, this delightful book is in VERY GOOD CONDITION for its age and especially to be almost 61 YEARS OLD!!! ALL PAGES ARE PRESENT!!! and firmly bound with NO TEARS! or stray markings. It measures 6 1/2" x 9" and is complete with 125 pages.
