Product Description With a gift for irony, the limerick, and an understanding of children, Lewis Carroll set out to write a book of fantastic entertainment. The story has nothing didactic about it and functions solely as a comedy, making use of fantasy and the burlesque. Although written for children, it is entertaining to adults, too. CliffsComplete combines the full original text of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with a helpful glossary and CliffsNotes-quality commentary into one volume. You will find: - A unique pedagogical approach that combines the complete original text with expert commentary following each chapter
- A descriptive bibliography and historical background on the author, the times, and the work itself
- An improved character map that graphically illustrates the relationships among the characters
- Sidebar glossaries

    Wonderfull!, 2008-12-26 I found that this great story being told in this form brought some new dimensions to this excellent book that always changes. Reading this version was my first time reading 'Alice' so the extra info was both helpful and exciting!
    save your pennies, 2008-03-19 This was a waste of pennies as there is very little that Cliff Notes can tell you beyond the text or book. It really IS that simple!
    Not Worth Buying, 2004-09-29 I bought this book thinking that I was going to get an extensive commentary about Alice In Wonderland. This book is by no means an in-depth commentary on the piece. There are no more than ten pages of commentary in the whole book. The rest of the book is just the actual text of Alice In Wonderland with large side-margins that occasionally include definitions of words or phrases.
Definitely one of the worst book purchases I have made in the last few years...
