A continuation of "Alice's adventures in Wonderland", first written during WW2 according to the foreword, and published in a somewhat rewritten form c. 1950.

It's a nice enough children's book, with some winks to grownups who might be reading along, in which we meet many old acquaintances (like the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter) and several new ones. It's not on a par with Lewis Carroll though. The fact that the author divided the story over two dream sequences doesn't quite work, and was - IMHO - entirely unnecessary. Also the book somehow seems more dated than the original Alice. Good fun though.… (plus d'informations)
