Only Lewis Carroll has shown us the world upside down the way a child sees it, and has made us laugh as children laugh—Virginia Woolf
Precise, dream-like, subversive—Quentin Blake, Independent on Sunday
The clue to the enduring fascination and greatness of the Alice books lies in language. . .. It is play, and word-play, and its endless intriguing puzzles continue to reveal themselves long after we have ceased to be children—A. S. Byatt
Without these two books in my childhood I doubt whether my imagination would have developed at all—Kate Atkinson
