This classic children's story is brought vividly to life by award-winning narrator, Jim Dale.
Alice falls asleep in a meadow and dreams that she plunges down a rabbit hole. She finds herself first too large and then too small. She sets off on wondrous adventures with such strange characters as Chesire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the King and Queen of Hearts.
Forget the cartoon version! Dale's expert handling of the characters in Carroll's classic banishes any preconceived voice characterizations from the listener's mind. The old favorites are all here: Alice, the Queen, the Caterpillar, and so on. However, there's more to it than just those few. Carroll's absurd landscape is populated with equally absurd characters, many of them with only a line or two. Dale takes these bit parts and gives them true personalities that might have been ignored in other productions. Moreover, Dale's approach to the story narration bears the kindly, slightly amused tone that one imagines Carroll himself had as he penned his much-loved tale. In a Disneyfied world, one forgets how quirky and delightfully peculiar this story really is--but now Jim Dale has brought us back to Wonderland. A.A. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
