Alice's second adventure takes her through the looking-glass to a place even curiouser than Wonderland. She 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 coloured by John Macfarlane, a ribbon marker and a foreword by Roald Dahl Funny Prize-winner Philip Ardagh, this beautiful hardback Macmillan Classics edition of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, which was first published by Macmillan in 1871, is a truly special gift to treasure.

In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.The book has inspired numerous film and television adaptations, including 'Alice in Wonderland,' a 2010 Disney film, directed by Tim Burton.A must-have for classic fantasy fans!

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) (also known as "Alice through the Looking-Glass" or simply "Through the Looking-Glass") is a novel by Lewis Carroll and the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). 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, etc) Through the Looking-Glass includes such verses as "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter", and the episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

When Alice travels through the looking glass, she enters a fantastical world where everything is backwards and nothing makes sense. Thrust into a chess game on a life-size board, Alice must navigate her way through a host of absurd characters, including Humpty Dumpty, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, and the formidable Red Queen. But if Alice can play her way safely to the other side, she might just become a queen herself!Andrew Biliter’s adaptation skillfully captures Lewis Carroll’s delightfully madcap tale of self-discovery, absurdity, and pretend.

The looking-glass world is divided into sections by brooks or streams, with the crossing of each brook usually signifying a notable change in the scene and action of the story: the brooks represent the divisions between squares on the chessboard, and Alice's crossing of them signifies advancing of her piece one square.
