Through the Looking-Glass: Alice in Wonderland: Book #2

'In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream, Lingering in the golden gleam, Life, what is it but a dream?'

The 1871 sequel to the hugely successful Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass sees the fantastical world-building of Lewis Carroll at its very finest.

As marvellously whimsical as its predecessor, Through the Looking Glass reunites readers with our young heroine, Alice, as she steps through a mirror into a contrary world where logic is reversed and nonsense is king. However, this time, the landscape resembles one giant chessboard, and, in order to return home, Alice must move from pawn to queen. Meeting memorable characters along the way, such as Tweedledee and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and the White Queen, Carroll's tale blends wordplay, absurdity and verse – most famously 'Jabberwocky' – in this dreamlike quest that delights even to this day. Lewis Carroll (1832 – 1898), the penname of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, mathematician and photographer. His literary work is famed for its wordplay, fantastical elements and nonsensical nature. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Carroll's most famous work, remains one of the best-known novels of Victorian literature.
