"New Adventures of Alice-John Rae" invites listeners to embark on a whimsical journey that reimagines the beloved classic tales of Alice. This enchanting audiobook captures the essence of curiosity…
forward of the new adventures of alice by john ray Probably you like myself have often wished that Lewis Carroll might have found time to write another book about Alice Certainly most of the children who have delightedly followed her through Wonderland and the looking-glass country have sighed regretfully when mother finished reading the last chapter to them and After reading the marvelous tale for perhaps the tenth time when I was a little boy, I started trying to imagine what Lewis Carroll would have written had he continued the adventures.
And it has been great fun for me to go on with these imaginings from time to time, and finally to write them down.
The children, with dreaming eyes of wonder, to whom I have related some of these new adventures, have frankly enjoyed them and their accompanying nonsense verses, and have helped with many stimulating questions and suggestions.
This leads me to hope that even Lewis Carroll himself might have enjoyed some of these added doings of his little adventurous Alice.
And so I make no excuse or apology for what to some may at first seem my shocking assurance, and if any of my love for the dear old dog-eared volume of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and through the looking-glass, has crept as I meant it should, between the lines of this humble supplement, that is excuse enough for its being.
It is offered as a loving gift from thankful children to the sweet spirit of the immortal Lewis Carroll, who has always seemed to me a dear, indulgent, storytelling uncle to all children.
