Through the Looking-Glass

Alice steps through a mirror into a country laid out as a chessboard, where every conversation obeys a logic of its own. Lewis Carroll's sequel to Wonderland sends its heroine across squares toward a crown, past talking flowers, contradictory kings and creatures who take language absolutely literally. The wordplay, nonsense verse and inverted reasoning have kept scholars and children equally occupied, and the book rewards rereading at different ages. Things that stand out: • The companion volume to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland • A journey structured as moves across a chessboard • Nonsense verse including some of the best known in English • Wordplay that works for children and for adult readers A dependable choice for students of literature, collectors of classics and families reading together, this English edition is available from Boipoka.
