Through the Looking-Glass
Through the Looking-Glass introduces you to young and precocious Alice. When Alice steps through the looking-glass, she enters a world of chess pieces and nursery rhyme characters. And they behave very strangely.
Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the dotty White Knight and the sharp-tempered Red Queen – none of them are what they seem. In fact, the looking-glass distorts everything.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson wrote this wonderful tale under the pen-name of Lewis Carroll. He wrote this for Alice Liddell, the daughter of a fellow college professor at the University of Oxford in England. He first published this in 1871. This sequel follows Carroll’s original tale Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
In this new story, Alice climbs through a mirror into a world where everything is reversed. Through the Looking Glass includes the memorable poems “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter”, and introduces the unforgettable characters of Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
