Description
Through The Looking Glass – also known as Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There or Alice Through the Looking Glass – is the 1871 sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll. The plot centers around a young girl named Alice who, instead of falling down a rabbit hole, this time steps through a mirror into the fantasy world that she can see beyond. Inside, she discovers that everything is reversed, an inverse reflection of reality. Perplexingly, running helps you stand still, walking away from something brings you towards it, chess pieces are alive, and nursery rhyme characters exist. Along the way, she meets Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum, Tweedledee, the angry Red Queen, and many other characters that readers have come to know and love. The books in this series are considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, playing with logic and giving the stories lasting popularity with young and old alike. Nothing is what it seems in the distorted reality of the looking glass!
This beautiful reprint of the original story is unabridged and has preserved the first edition of Through the Looking Glass for your reading pleasure. It will make a beautiful gift or a wonderful addition to your library of classic children’s literature!
Excerpt:
In another moment Alice was through the glass, and had jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room. The very first thing she did was to look whether there was a fire in the fireplace, and she was quite pleased to find that there was a real one, blazing away as brightly as the one she had left behind. ‘So I shall be as warm here as I was in the old room,’ thought Alice: ‘warmer, in fact, because there’ll be no one here to scold me away from the fire. Oh, what fun it’ll be, when they see me through the glass in here, and can’t get at me!’
Features: Original 1871 Text Dimensions: 6x9 inches Matte Cover
