Also an amazing document showing his handwriting and drawings. ( ) I'm having an Alice binge at the moment and decided i needed to go back to the very beginning of the story to see how it came about. This book is great, not just having the original story, but also letters to and from the author at the time. A wonderful piece of literary history. And now i'm straight into 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', which is the re-written and fleshed out edition of this original. Definitely something all adults should go back and read - and learn not to take things too seriously. Cute, mildly interesting - more for its history than for the story. It's not quite all of Alice in Wonderland (which is apparently almost twice as long), but all the events are in that story, though not necessarily in the same order. It's missing some major bits - the Cheshire Cat and the whole Mad Tea Party, for one. The drawings are nice - he may not have thought of himself as good at sketching, but his people look like people both in profile and in full-face, which is more than I can say for a lot of people sketching today (including me). They look like just ink drawings, though I suspect he either pasted them in after he got a good version or copied them from a good version. Other than the sketches, and I suppose the handwriting, there's not much that stands out about the book. The foreword and intro, by Alice's granddaughter and...an editor of the facsimile edition? Russell Ash, not sure - are interesting too, two takes on the history of this manuscript. Glad I read it, I see no need to read it again. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
