Wonderful Wonderland Book
As an avid Alice in Wonderland fan, I have many Alice-related books, and this is one of the best that I have ever seen. Not only is the Lewis Carroll text presented in full, but the commentary and detailed analysis by David Day is placed next to and around the material to which it refers. The illustrations include original works by Carroll, John Tenniel, and many others, as well as photographs of the people who inspired Carroll, the places he visited, charts and graphs detailing Day's analysis, and fine art of the allusions in the text.David Day's insights and commentary are incredible as is the amount of research that he has conducted into the lives and work of Carol's contemporaries and the parts that they play in his book. His explanations are clear, organized, and academic; his sentence structure is swoon-worthy.

Great info on a time honored story
Great info on a time honored story. VERY detailed and gets bogged down with intricate details (especially concerning math explanations) but totally necessary in the big picture to really explain the full Alice story. A seemingly simple and silly story broken down into very complex ideas. Great for the person that LOVES details and a touch of "why they did that"

Thank you David Day for all your hard work
What an adventure, Thank you David Day for all your hard work - I first heard your interview on Australian radio and said I must get that book. Many of us these days lack a REAL education (classical that is) and need this insight to fill in the blanks. Wonderful, Amazing!

Wonderful breakdown of the author's inspiration and really brings the book to a higher level than just a great child's story.

Not necessarily fully decoded.
An OK book, but it would have been nice to have equations, maybe as footnoes, to illustrate what's being discussed.For example, the "Rabbit Hole" seems to me to be a euphamism for the null set.
