Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
О книге
A level 2 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Jennifer Bassett.
There, on top of the mushroom, was a large caterpillar, smoking a pipe. After a while the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth and said to Alice in a slow, sleep voice, 'Who are you?'
What strange things happen when Alice falls down the rabbit-hole and into Wonderland! She has conversations with the Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, goes to the Mad Hatter's tea party, plays croquet with the King and Queen of Hearts…
When I first read this book I already was in my twenties, and the only reason I came across Alices adventures was filling the checkbox in my must-read books of all time list. Surprisingly it was a great experience – the plot was quite entertaining, the characters were weird but lovely at the same time and their conversations reminded adults talking to a kid, but then you understand that the kid has a solid reasoning for thinking her own way. Keep reading further and all this craziness becomes a little bit less crazy.
To sum it up, this book seems quite flat at first glance, more of an entertaining fairy tale, but in the end of the day it strangely makes you feel a bit different about routines.

Завтра никогда не бывает сегодня! Разве можно проснуться поутру и сказать: “Ну вот, сейчас наконец завтра”?
Стол был большой, но чаевники сидели с одного края, на уголке. Завидев
Алису, они закричали:
- Занято! Занято! Мест нет!
