A fun little treat - a sweet cake palate cleanser - for any 'Alice in Wonderland' fan.
Containing quotes from 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass', that showcase the best of young Alice, 'What Would Alice Do?' is a weeny advice book that's full of stuff and nonsense - and might be the most sensible thing you can put in your pocket. Throughout your day, every day, you can take it out and look at it, and chuckle and learn some insights. Some sage wisdom and observations.
You won't forget just how hilarious Lewis Carroll could be after reading bits of 'What Would Alice Do?'.
Alice is more than a mere seven-year-old Victorian girl. She was a heroine ahead of her time. Dealing with nonsense worlds around her, often like a boss. In fact, according to Lauren Laverne in the foreword:
'Where would we be without Alice in Wonderland? Alice was the very first female heroine in children's fiction; Lewis Carroll has been credited with inventing the genre itself when he created her.'
Little Alice was the precursor to Matilda Wormwood and Hermione Granger.
Curiouser and curiouser indeed.
There could very well be a lot to learn from Alice. She is stupendously inspirational.
'What Would Alice Do?: Advice for the Modern Woman' - by The Macmillan Alice.
'...as with everything in Wonderland, there is more to Alice than meets the eye.
Clear-headed, logical, spirited and strong, Alice consistently challenges authority. Hers is the lone, sane voice speaking out[...] There is much we can learn from Alice about honesty, adventure and making your way in a world that doesn't always (ever!) make sense.' - Lauren Laverne
Final Score: 4/5
