Through the Looking-Glass

In this sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice steps through a mirror into a topsy-turvy land organized like a giant chess game, where she meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the White Knight, the imperious Red Queen, and the egg-shaped Humpty Dumpty, and encounters the nonsense poem ‘Jabberwocky.’ Carroll fills the dreamlike journey with wordplay, logic puzzles, and wondrous invention as Alice advances across the board to become a queen. Even richer and stranger than its predecessor, Through the Looking-Glass is a masterpiece of literary nonsense that delights children and fascinates adults with its wit and hidden depths. It remains one of the most beloved and endlessly quoted books in all of children’s literature.
