I tend to think of Wonderland and Looking-Glass as a pigeon-pair. I love both books for different reasons; Wonderland is lovely and fluid and dream-like, while Looking-Glass is a beautifully crafted tale.
But I love both Alices.

John, how could you work out such a simple, clear, extremely correct, beautiful statement? Carlo

Thank you for your kind words, John. I guess, like many, the Alice books are "where I came in". I was always a little disappointed, as a kid, to learn that there were only two Alice books. I've often thought that a third Alice would be nice...

I have just joined the forum, and putting the pigean amongst the proverbial Cheshire Cats you might like to take a look at my humble attempt at a third Alice story, and se how you like it. I call it 'Alice on top of the World'. You can see the first four chapters on my blog www.gerrardtwilson.wordpress.com I would love to receive some feedback, hopefully good! Thanks. from Gerry.

Hi Gerry,
I've looked at your chapters and do have some comments that I hope you will find constructive. However, I would certainly wish such comments to be made off-line as I consider them private. Please contact my if you are interested.
Regards
John Tufail

Only a Mathematician COULD have written "Through the Looking-Glass!" In fact "Jabberwocky" is my favorite Poem. (Still chuckle whenever I hear Sterling Holloway sing it).

I personally think that both books have their own qualities, so I'm not quite sure whether they're comparable or not. While TLG had more depth, the first Alice book, I think, has a little more imagination. It's more nonsensical, basically. But that doesn't mean that either of the books were good or bad. I enjoyed both equally.
