Alice Eats Wonderland Book by Applewood Books - Classic Storybook for Kids, Teens & Adults - Perfect for Bedtime Reading, Gifts & Book Collections

You may think that a book titled "Alice Eats Wonderland" would be full of boring recipes for tea cakes and strawberry tarts, But Imholtz and Tannenbaum have given us something altogether new in the annals of Carrollian Culinary Creations. If you look carefully, you will see the word "irreverent" on the title page and the humor in this delightful volume is certainly that. But this is no mere fluff, rather a humorous slant on culinary history held together by the flora and fauna Alice meets on her journey (nearly all of whom, apparently, CAN be eaten, if you really want, for instance, a roast hedgehog.) The authors' disclaimer on p. 4 cautions readers that "some of the recipes contained herein are not intended to be prepared and/or consumed by humans or other living vertebrates." That's not to say that there is nothing to cook in this book, there certainly is--but your funny bone and your intellectual curiosity are more likely to be stimulated than your palate when Alice eats Wonderland!
