About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child has fallen in love with Alice's story and is now brimming with questions about the world and its characters. This is not a retelling of the classic tale, but a comprehensive visual guide that acts as an encyclopedia for Wonderland. It explores character backstories, explains nonsensical riddles, and provides fascinating historical context about Lewis Carroll and Victorian England. It nurtures a child's natural curiosity and analytical skills, making it a perfect companion to the original novel for detail-oriented readers. By breaking down the 'why' behind the magic, it deepens a child's appreciation for the creativity involved in building a fantasy world.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book touches upon the more unsettling aspects of the original story, such as the Queen of Hearts' tyrannical nature and her constant threats of beheading. However, the approach is purely descriptive and analytical, not narrative. These elements are presented as facts about the character within a literary context, which mitigates their emotional intensity. The tone is informative and secular.
