In New Adventures of Alice, John Rae imagines further adventures for the girl from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The book offers a continuation of Alice’s story, shaped by Rae’s own response to Carroll’s original.

Rae first told these stories to his children, after years of wishing Carroll had written another Alice book. This is a later author’s imaginative return to a familiar character, rather than a work by Carroll himself.

A children’s fantasy for listeners who enjoy Alice’s world and want to hear how another writer extends it.

Good but...


(3 stars)

I love the new Alice story but Greg's readings are too hard to understand. Apart from that I enjoyed this story.

Didn't finish

Wasn't enjoying some of the narrators

Simply Splendid


(5 stars)

As a lifelong Lewis Carroll fan, I throughly enjoyed John Rae’s addition to the tales of our beloved Alice. I think he captured her spirit perfectly and that Carroll would have been proud of and honored by this work.
