This 1872 sequel to Lewis Carroll's beloved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland finds the inquisitive heroine in a fantastic land where everything is reversed. Looking-glass land, a topsy-turvy world lurking just behind the mirror over Alice's mantel, is a fantastic realm of live chessmen, madcap kings and queens, strange mythological creatures, talking flowers and puddings, and rude insects.
Brooks and hedges divide the lush greenery of looking-glass land into a chessboard, where Alice becomes a pawn in a bizarre game of chess involving Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Lion and the Unicorn, the White Knight, and other nursery-rhyme figures. Promised a crown when she reaches the eighth square, Alice perseveres through a surreal landscape of amusing characters that pelt her with riddles and humorous semantic quibbles and regale her with memorable poetry, including the oft-quoted "Jabberwocky."

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Join Alice in another trip to the outlandish world of Wonderland. When Alice idly wonders what life is like on the other side of her mirror, she suddenly finds that she can pass through the glass and see for herself. Once there, she meets an array of nursery rhyme characters and other fantastic creatures, all displaying the odd lack of sense (as we know it) that is the rule in Wonderland. But Alice finds she can hold her own - even against the daunting Red Queen. An absurd and delightful foray into the mind of Lewis Carroll, containing such famous poems as 'Jabberwocky' and 'The Walrus and the Carpenter', Through the Looking Glass is one of the classics of children's literature.
