Books with title Looking Glass

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a novel by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Set some six months later than the earlier book, Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. Through the Looking-Glass includes such celebrated verses as "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter", and the episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

Fifteen-year-old Alice Montgomery wakes up in the lobby of the B&B where she has been vacationing with her family to a startling discovery: no one can see or hear her. The cheap desk lights have been replaced with gas lamps and the linoleum floor with hardwood and rich Oriental carpeting. Someone has replaced the artwork with eerie paintings of Elizabeth Blackwell, the insane actress and rumored witch who killed herself at the hotel in the 1880s. Alice watches from behind the looking glass where she is haunted by Elizabeth Blackwell. Trapped in the 19th-century version of the hotel, Alice must figure out a way to break Elizabeth’s curse—with the help of Elizabeth's old diary and Tony, the son of a ghost hunter who is investigating the haunted B&B—before she becomes the inn's next victim.Reviews for The Looking Glass:"Jessica Arnold's The Looking Glass is an original and gorgeous take on Alice in Wonderland. Filled with beautiful prose, fascinating characters and exciting plot twists, it is truly one of a kind." —Tracy Deebs, author, Tempest Rising on The Looking Glass "A truly modern ghost story that takes the reader down a rabbit hole of suspense." —Laura Bickle, author, The Hallowed Ones on The Looking Glass

Alice's second adventure takes her through the looking glass to a place even curiouser than Wonderland, in this gorgeous hardback gift edition Alice finds herself caught up in the great looking glass chess game and sets off to become a queen. It isn't as easy as she expects: at every step she is hindered by nonsense characters who crop up and insist on reciting poems. Some of these poems, such as "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and "Jabberwocky," are as famous as the Alice stories themselves. Gloriously illustrated with the original line drawings by John Tenniel, plates colored by John Macfarlane, a ribbon marker, and a foreword by Philip Ardagh, this beautiful hardback edition of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, which was first published by Macmillan in 1871, is a truly special gift to treasure.

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of children's literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), generally categorized as literary nonsense. It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Although it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book, the themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, on Alice's birthday (May 4), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.

For years a war-torn Wonderland has kept watch on a dusty rabbit’s hole in the hope that their brave heroine, their champion, would come tumbling down again to lead them against the rising forces of the Dark Queen. The residents of Wonderland can’t read a clock, however, and time runs out. A last, desperate hope for salvation results in the fabled Cheshire Cat being sent to the Fortress of Mirrors to find a doorway into Alice’s world. Our tale begins with the Cat’s dismay – he finds the long-lost door, but instead of fierce, wise Alice, he finds only her meek granddaughter Allyson. The Cat is left with a choice – Take this timid child to Wonderland, a place now more nightmare than a dream, and hope that some of Alice’s fire runs in her blood, or return empty-handed and smash what little hope remains?
