Alice in Wonderland, Retold in Words of One Syllable by Carroll and Gorham
We all know the story: a bored girl named Alice spots a white rabbit, follows it down a hole, and finds herself in a world where nothing makes sense. She shrinks and grows, meets a grinning cat, has tea with a Mad Hatter, and plays croquet with a queen who just wants to chop off everyone's head. It's a wild ride of logic turned upside down.
Why You Should Read It
This isn't just a simplified version; it's a creative feat. Reading a familiar story told with such a strict rule—only one-syllable words—makes you pay attention in a new way. The constraints force clever phrasing that often adds its own kind of wit. You get the heart of the madness without the Victorian-era language that can sometimes slow a modern reader down. It highlights how absurd and funny the story really is at its core.
Final Verdict
This book is perfect for two kinds of people: young readers or English learners ready to tackle their first classic, and longtime Alice fans looking for a new lens on an old friend. It’s a quick, delightful read that reminds you why this tale has stuck around for so long. A charming and inventive take on a world we never want to leave.
