THE WONDERLAND COLLECTION

Simon Bubb's whimsical narration ideally sets the stage for three of Lewis Carroll's classic works. The collection includes ALICE IN WONDERLAND, ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, and A TANGLED TALE, an interesting collection of short stories centered on mathematical problems. Bubb lends a range of vocal characterizations to the many eccentric characters of Carroll's creation. His Alice is quite matter-of-fact, and his serious tone in her musings helps to highlight the humor of her childlike reasoning. From the dull and sorrowful voice of the Mock Turtle to the aloof attitude of the Cheshire Cat, Bubb deftly captures the absurd humor in Carroll's style. All of the strange and surreal scenes are wonderfully portrayed in Bubb's attentive narration. D.M.W. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2021]
