The score(s) next to each publication’s review and the average rating is an interpretation of the reviews by Literature’s Pretty Long History.
Critics:
“It is a child’s dream of wonders, and drifts like a dream through nearly two hundred pages of some of the best nonsense ever written or children by an Englishman. Mr Tenniel has furnished three or four dozen picture that are quite as clever and amusing as the text…The want of construction is a little felt towards the end, if one reads the book, as we could not help doing, straight through at a sitting.”
“This, also, is very neatly and well printed and bound. The story is exactly such an one as a smart story-teller reels off to children, their questions suggesting new adventures, and the tale running on with no reason for stopping in one place rather than in another, except weariness or “other engagements.” But, off-hand as it is, it is wonderfully clever, and quite bristles with points and runs over with fun.”
