These adaptations of
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
and
Through the Looking-Glass
are faithful to Lewis Carroll's original text except this edition is in the
stacked prose
format instead of being boxed in paragraphs. The pages are divided into two columns of text and the lines are short and often divided by punctuation such as a comma, period, or question mark, etc., which can make for fast and easy reading. This stacked prose format adaptation breaks up lines of text in the way you would read them aloud and is ideal for speed reading, reading aloud, and dramatic reading. Empty lines are inserted instead of paragraph indents. This adaptation makes the story easy to read without the hyphenation of words at the ends of lines. The human eye may get tired reading across a wide line of text, but when lines are short, the reading can be faster. Younger readers may enjoy this adaptation because it is easier to understand. Stacked prose is easier to read than normal prose because it is structured more like people talk.
