Review of
Disney Alice in Wonderland Cinestory Comic, adapted by Jeremy Barlow ISBN 9781987955057
Five out of five stars
Mathematicians, of which I am one, regularly point out the Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), the
author of the classic “Alice in Wonderland” was a mathematician/logician. No book ever published has a wider spectrum of memorable and original characters, it is a book that is just as entertaining for adults as it is for children, even though it was published over 150 years ago.
This book is a graphic novel rendition of that classic tale and is based on the Disney movie, and it expresses all of the wonder and nonsensical dialog of these entertaining characters. I have read “Alice in Wonderland” and several books that contain commentary about it and when reading this version, I was once again amazed at the originality of the characters. The artwork is superb, the exaggerated features of the creatures adds to their imprint on your mind.
