Alice in Wonderland: If It Was Written by Shakespeare


Alice in Wonderland: If It Was Written by Shakespeare by Lit Fusion is a twist on the classical children's tale by Lewis Carroll. What happens when you combine Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and William Shakespeare? Well, join the fun down the rabbit hole for a literary experience like no other.

The book's contents.

CHAPTER I - DOWN THE RABBIT-HOLE

CHAPTER II - THE POOL OF TEARS

CHAPTER III - A CAUCUS-RACE AND A LONG TALE

CHAPTER IV - THE RABBIT SENDS IN A LITTLE BILL

CHAPTER V - ADVICE FROM A CATERPILLAR

CHAPTER VI - PIG AND PEPPER

CHAPTER VII - A MAD TEA-PARTY

CHAPTER VIII - THE QUEEN’S CROQUET-GROUND

CHAPTER IX - THE MOCK TURTLE’S STORY

CHAPTER X - THE LOBSTER QUADRILLE

CHAPTER XI - WHO STOLE THE TARTS?

CHAPTER XII - ALICE’S EVIDENCE

This is from Chapter 2 when Alice tries to get through the Garden Door.

"With haste she returned to the little door,
Alas! It was shut once more.
The golden key lay upon the glass table's gleam,
'And things are worse than ever," she did deem,
"For never ere have I been so small,
Never have I felt so insignificant, in this thrall.
And I declare, it's an unfair plight,
Oh, the injustice of it all, it is not right!'"

This is from Chapter 7, The Mad-Tea Party in which Alice tries to understand time according to the Mad Hatter.

"‘Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what thou’rt at!’
Dost know the song, perchance?” said he.
“Something like it, I’ve heard,” quoth she."

A Shakespearean twist on Alice in Wonderland was definitely my cup of tea. It is a fairly easy read. The book is designed for readers between the ages of 6 and 18. This book introduces children to multiple literary genres at once. In addition, this book would be an excellent choice for family reading time. This is a book I highly recommend.
