13 Reasons Why Alice in Wonderland is Simply the Best

While, for most people, Alice in Wonderland is the story of a little girl following a rabbit into a strange place, it’s a coming-of-age story for me. Or more accurately, it’s the coming-of-age story of me.

I loved it when I was little, imagining my own wonderland in my head as my mum read the story to me.

I loved it when I could only look at the pictures in the book.

I loved it when I watched the cartoon for the first time.

I loved it when I grew up, learned how to read, and read it by myself for the first time.

I loved it when I read it in the script format.

I loved it when I watched the Disney movies; Alice in Wonderland & Alice Through the Looking Glass.

I still love it when I recall how it makes me feel. And it’s because Lewis Caroll surprises me. Every. Single. Time.

There is only so much to discover with Alice. Not only do I discover something different or new every time, but I am also filled with this feeling of nostalgia that leaves some sort of an old candy taste in my mouth.
