Through The Looking-Glass And What Alice Found There [Paperback] Lewis Carroll

Looking for a good Kindle edition of a popular public-domain classic can be a depressing task. Usually there are so many junky editions available that it can be difficult to find a good one, if a good one exists at all.So after looking at several badly-made editions of Through the Looking Glass, I was very pleased to see this one. First, the cover is exceptional; far better than a public domain classic Kindle edition usually gets. But more importantly, the Tenniel illustrations are all very well reproduced. They look as good here as I have ever seen them in digital form.It's strange that all quotes are single, as if they were all interior quotes, but I'll take the publisher at his word that this oddity was in the first edition and, I guess, was Lewis Carroll's intention.One of my pet peeves about most Kindle editions of public-domain classics is the use of foot marks and inch marks in place of quotes and apostrophes. I've published two Kindle books and I know that it is not really all that much work to go through and replace them all with the correct characters. And the result looks so much better. What we have in this book is all foot marks, instead of apostrophes or single-quote characters. But rather than knock off a star for that, I'll assume -- skeptically -- that this too was in the first edition.So, this appears to be the best Kindle edition of Through the Looking Glass available. I highly recommend it. And at only 99 cents it's certainly a great value.

Was rather disappointed with it, I think it must be my age..(67) It didn't hold the magic as it did when I was young.

Decent read

bought this for my daughter as a gift .... she devoured the entire book in one night... good story, great read!

I love the stories about Alice in Wonderland. This is very nicely illustrated.
