“By any reckoning…[one of the] most original works of fiction to emerge from that strange and original time known as Victorian England.”
Guardian (London)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
Lewis Carroll's enduring tale begins with Alice chasing the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole, where she encounters delightfully eccentric characters like the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts. Many view the story as a tale about the trials and tribulations of growing up, as seen through the expert eyes of a child.
The book's sequel, Through the Looking Glass, finds Alice in a fantastic land where everything is reversed. While the first book has the deck of cards as a theme, this book is loosely based on a game of chess played on a giant chessboard. Alice encounters madcap kings and queens and strange mythological characters when she becomes a pawn in a chess game involving nursery-rhyme characters. Throughout her fantastic journeys, Alice retains her reason, humor, and sense of justice.
Harlan Ellison was a 2009 Grammy nominee for Best Spoken World Album for his performance in Through the Looking Glass.

It's so wonderful to have these two stories together in one set, and there are no two better readers for them than Michael York and Harlan Ellison. Fantastic performances of these two treasures. An audio masterpiece of two classic tales. Highly recommended.
My whole family has enjoyed listening to this beautiful book, and the movie is a celebration of the audiobook medium. It's a great set that you'll enjoy time and time again!
This is not an unbiased review, because I produced the audiobooks and wrote and directed the film! However, the performances of Michael York and Harlan Ellison are divine by any standards, not just mine (Harlan received a Grammy Nomination for his performance.) The short film THE DELIVERY has gone on to win first prize at the DRAGONCON Film Festival in the Fantasy Division. The film gives a glimpse of the inside workings of an audiobook studio, and a down-the-rabbit-hole adventure into the world of actors and authors. The film stars the lovely audiobook Audie winner Emily Rankin (formerly Emily Card), John Rubinstein, Stefan Rudnicki, Scott Brick, Ender's Game author Orson Scott Card, the amazing Harlan Ellison, Efrem and Stephanie Zimbalist and Michael York. It's family friendly, and a nice companion piece to the audiobook for all ages. I hope you enjoy listening to the audios and watching the film. With special thanks to the man who made it all possible, Lewis Carroll.
