Publisher's summary

Gemma Arterton reads Lewis Carroll's all-time classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

One sleepy summer's day, Alice sees a white rabbit disappear down a rabbit hole. But this is not an ordinary rabbit, this one wears a waistcoat, has a pocket watch and is talking to himself, so Alice follows him! When she stops falling down the rabbit hole she finds herself in a curious hall full of locked doors and one small key, and now her adventures begin.

Alice meets characters like the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat in a story that has delighted and entranced readers for more than a hundred years. This is part of AudioGO's 'Famous Fiction' range.

Classic

Not a fan if the story but Arterton did a fine job reading. I preferred hers over some others that were too theatrical for my taste. Needed to cover this for work. My little one now likes to shout “off with hear head!!!” LOL

a nice bedtime prose for children.

Of course, i cannot compare it to other recordings because it is an abridged version. easy to finish. easy to listen to. i like it too but short.
i will only recommend it as a primer for kids to this curious classic.

Pretty good

I honestly just got the book because Gemma Arterton was the narrator but I did enjoy the story and I also realized that it’s probably aimed for children.

not the best abridgement

It was the length I needed for a lesson I was giving but I think it really lost all the quirks and charms of the original by being too bland and not zeroing in anywhere.

Magnificent

It was an amazing story and was well narrated by Arterton, she had emotion in her voice rather than it being flat or simple.
