Overview

Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. There she finds that, just like a reflection, everything is reversed, including logic: running helps you remain stationary, walking away from something brings you towards it, chessmen are alive, nursery rhyme characters exist. From her guest appearance as a pawn in a chess match to her meeting with Humpty Dumpty, Through the Looking Glass follows Alice on her curious adventure and shows Carroll's great skill at creating an imaginary world full of the fantastical and extraordinary.
Unabridged edition with an interactive table of contents.
